    So, erm, wrong? The checkout monkey was trying to be over PC and got it wrong. Even in a Halal KFC, where this would only be an issue, this is not the way it is.

    But sure, you take it to mean that all hand wipes have been banned at all KFCs in the country. I'm tempted to go out and buy KFC for lunch today and take a picture, just to prove you wrong. I won't, I'm busy, maybe Friday.

      LOL are you kidding? We have alcohol wipes and hand sanitizer (with alcohol in it) in every room of the house. This is a case of people not understanding what would and would not really offend people. They ought to get some consultants so they don't make stupid decisions like that.

        Thank you, Os.

        I honestly don't know much at all about Islam.

        Most of what I do "know"...comes from LL Cool J on

        NCIS LA...... he plays a Muslim character....

        Every once in a while, historically, there are outbreaks

        of genocide, extreme cruelty and violence, that defies

        all understanding by every other group of people on this

        planet.

        Isil ...nazis.... humanity must stop them, and eliminate them.

        Isil has co-opted the Muslim religion in a warped way - and made

        it into something that is just for lending their hideous extreme violence

        and destruction some kind of "legitimacy" in their own warped minds.

        But they have infiltrated into towns now, and bombing that isil convoy

        heading through the desert seems like it would have been such a boon

        to humanity... if it could just have been decided on.

        Now.... bombing can't stop it. Inevitably - boots on the ground, door to door. So sad.

            😡

            Hey now, aside from the crap I get for my crap, it's still

            me and what I really think, which usually isn't crap, but

            sometimes, okay, often, I get on a comedic roll for weeks on end...

            I may have watched Tim Conway and Red Skelton too much in my life.

            .....Marx brothers when I was a kid........

                  Osiris a question for you. Do you occasionally eat pork products and drink alcohol? This is by no means a gotcha just curious..

                      Not really. I ate pork once accidentally when I was a kid. Tasted good, but so does beef and chicken. 🙂

                      Alcohol I drank for a couple of years after college out of curiosity. Didn't see what all the fuss was about and I stopped. My drink was Malibu and Coke.

                      Incidentally, the Quran does not strictly forbid alcohol, though it recommends against it.

                            Alcohol. Malibu and coke? Maybe you didn't like all the stick that came with it? 😉

                            To be honest I don't drink a lot these days, and it's been ages since I drank to get drunk. But, I do like a nice cold beer after a long day in the office, or other times to just unwind. For me, it's about having to sit and sip, whereas if I got a soft drink, I'd chug it. This way, I have to take the time to drink it. Kind of like why people drink tea on a hot day.

                              What's wrong with Malibu and Coke??? 🙂 I first tried it because of that Bare Naked Ladies song. I think beer tastes terrible, don't know how anyone acquires that taste!
