GREASY BURGER FLYER AT ARTERY CLINIC

Wednesday April 27th, 2011 in In My Life Stuff

While waiting for my husband at the heart clinic at the hospital (the clogged artery specialists), there was only a magazine, a coverless book and this MacDonald’s flyer with a big fat greasy burger, oozing cheese.
