Grilled too. And yes, the bologna has to be thick cut.

Way back I was a swing manager in a Mickey d's. a guy ordered and asked for extra pickles. I could sense his addiction. I put as many on as I could. He came back and I think he would have hugged me if he could have outrun me.

You got fry sauce up there? Mayo/ketchup mixed? If you do and like it, make some with Heinz 57 instead of ketchup.

LeBron James farts at fans after they ask for his autograph
By Jon Levine
November 23, 2019 | 12:44pm | Updated

The King has tooted.

Basketball star LeBron James responded to a fan request for an autograph by farting at him while leaving an Oklahoma steakhouse.

LeBron and fellow basketballer Chris Paul were leaving the Mohagany Prime Steakhouse in Oklahoma City when the fans, who were recording the encounter, approached.

Before entering a waiting SUV, James lifted his leg and offered a burst of flatulence so loud it was picked by the cameraâ€™s audio from the other side of the parking lot, TMZ reported.

Itâ€™s been a banner week for farting news, with Rep. Eric Swalwell also making national headlines after what appeared to be a loud fart during a live interview with MSNBC host Chris Matthews.

The network later said the sound was not a fart but was in fact caused by Matthews dragging his coffee cup across the desk.

NY Post

I saw the Swalwell video. That was no coffee cup. The above link has the James video. Bleah! Too much flatulence! Maybe AOC can tell Bronnie to tone it down - for the environment.
