Pull up to the drive-thru. When asked for your order, respond with incoherent mumbles and gibberish. You will be asked to repeat your order, at which point you should mumble again in a similar fashion. The prank is on! Now that you've had a chance to look at the menu, realize that you are hungry, and order a cheeseburger (coherently this time). As you eat your burger in the parking lot, notice yourself becoming overwhelmed by a feeling of crushing loneliness and isolation. Find yourself considering that you might as well just mumble all the time because, if you think about it, no one is really understanding you anyway—at least not the real you. Your drive-thru prank, you can now see, was an embodiment of man's futile attempt to connect with his fellow man. Can anyone ever truly know another person? Decide that they cannot. Call your significant other and briskly end the relationship with no explanation. Have immediate regrets about this.
