Ok, so let's say you've had a long, bad day. Let's say more went wrong than right with your day, and the stuff that went wrong went really wrong and you've decided to you've earned yourself a consolatory vanilla milkshake. So you go to Burger King and you notice that their large milk shake, which is a whopping 32 ounces of frozen dairy and milk product, is a mere $2.39. A pittance, a trifle, pocket change. So you decided to order the milkshake and you begin drinking it. When you first begin, you are really enjoying this milkshake. It's smooth and creamy, tastes like vanilla ice cream and smiles. Then as the drinking continues, you realize, that although the milkshake is good it doesn't seem to end. No matter how much you drink, there just seems to be more milkshake waiting for you in the cup. Sure, this seems like a wonderful thing, but after about 16 ounces of milkshake, you begin to think, maybe this is more milkshake than you can handle, but then you think of what happens if you can't finish it. You can't save a milkshake. Once it's shaken, it can't be reshook. If you try to freeze it, it just becomes a frozen block of vanilla flavored ice milk. If you throw it away you'll have essentially wasted $2.39. Two hundred and thirty-nine American cents! Why for that kind of money you could buy all kinds of things. Like two packs of gum, or 10 really crappy pens or 1 pretty decent one, or a large vanilla milk shake from Burger King. Not finishing this milk shake is not an option. There is only one course of action. You must drink this milk shake. So you down another few gulps, and another few, and some more until there is only one swallow left. When that final swallow goes down, it does not feel good. As it slides down your esophagus (high fiving all the bits of milk shake still making their way to your stomach along the way) you begin to feel sluggish and kind of nauseous. This feeling will not pass. Get used to it. So long story short, don't do what I just did.
