I Understand Jack in the Box

Every eating establishment worthy of the name has a drive-thru now, and so we take that convenience for granted. But how many of us appreciate the fact that it was all started by Jack in the Box? Before there were cars, before there were intercoms, yes, even before electricity had been subdued by Franklin, there were Jacks in the Box. And how do we show our appreciation? With mockery, that’s how! Everyone and his brother and her sister tries to play the wit by mocking the intercoms at Jack in the Box drive thrus as unintelligible.

Where shall we take a purse tomorrow, Jack?

Well, I’m here to tell all you ingrates that you should be ashamed. I understand Jack in the Box perfectly well. If you don’t you’re just not paying attention.
