The 100GB Bug
EXPERTS WARN OF THREAT FROM 100GB BUG
Firebringer News Service (FBNS) - Experts warned today of a new and deadly
threat to
our beleaguered civilization: the 100GB Bug.
As most people know, McDonald's restaurant signs show the number of hamburgers
the
giant chain has sold. That number now stands at 99 billion burgers, or 99
Gigaburgers
(GB). Within months or even weeks, that number will roll over to 100GB.
McDonald's signs, however, were designed years ago, when the prospect of selling
one
hundred billion hamburgers seemed unthinkably remote. So the signs have only two
numeric places.
This means that, after the sale of the 100 billionth burger, McDonald's signs
will read "00
Billion Burgers Sold." This, experts predict, will convince the public that, in
over thirty
years, no McDonald's hamburgers have ever in fact been sold, causing a complete
collapse of consumer confidence in McDonald's products.
The ensuing catastrophic drop in sales is seen as almost certain to force the
company
into bankruptcy. This, in turn, will push the teetering American economy over
the brink,
which, finally, will complete the total devastation of the global economy,
ending
civilization as we know it, and forcing us all to live on beetles.
"The people who know (the sign-makers) are really scared of 100GB," one expert
said. "I
don't know about you, but I'm digging up a copy of THE FIELD GUIDE TO NORTH
AMERICAN INSECTS and heading for the hills."
