(Reprinted from my MySpace blog, originally posted last Easter)

One of my favorite purchases right now at Burger King is the "Angus Steak Burger" @3.49 and a 9 piece Chicken Fries @2.69. When you add those together, then add CA's sales tax, your total comes out to $6.66. Hence, I've begun referring to this as "Lunch of the Beast". It is important to note that the amusing total has nothing to do with why I often order this, as it is yummy. So, today I decide to stop by BK on my way to work, on Easter Sunday. I decided that the poor sap stuck running the BK drive-thru on Easter deserved a hearty chuckle so I ordered my "Lunch of the Beast". I, of course, didn't use those words when ordering. Well, to my amazement, when he read back my total to me over the intercom the total came out to $6.67. Apparently, on This christian holiday, BK decided to ward off Satan from their cash register by raising the price on one of the items I had ordered. At the window, I mentioned (playing dumb) that the total for these items was usually 6.66 and asked if they were raising their prices. He said my total actually WAS 6.66, he just didn't want to say that over the intercom. We both had a hearty chuckle. It was nice of the young fellow to attempt to shield me from the influence of Satan for a mere penny.
