Ordering the Sampler Appetizer platter protects you from COVID
PatriotRetort.com | July 17, 2020 | Dianny

The air must be really thin up there on Dead Body Mountain. Governor “Boy I Really Nailed This Thing” Cuomo took some time out from his victory lap over having the highest per capita death rate in the country to issue yet another dictate. From here on out, restaurants must not serve alcohol to patrons unless said patrons also order food. Apparently a gin and tonic alone puts you at risk for COVID, but ordering the sampler appetizer platter along with that G&T renders you immune.

Governor “Didn’t I Do I Great Job” Cuomo believes drinking at an outdoor restaurant sans food leads to that high-risk behavior known as “sticking around too long.” Whereas drinking while enjoying the sampler appetizer platter will force people to hurry the hell up and leave.

I’m unclear if patrons will be required to order another sample appetizer platter every time they order an additional drink, or if just having the same plate of food at your table inoculates you from the threat of COVID.

Though, to be fair, restaurant owners are just as unclear about the latest proclamation from on high as I am.

I checked Governor “Dead Body Mountain’s” poster of praise to himself to see if there was a neat little cartoon depicting the food-to-drink ratio, and there was not.

Now, it’s been a while since I’ve gone out with friends to a restaurant mostly because I do not possess the disposable income necessary to eat out. But as I dimly recall, even with every person at the table ordering food, we still managed to hang out there for quite a while.

. . . It is long overdue that someone has finally summoned up the strength to say “Racism is bad.” Luckily, we have B- and C-level celebrities to confront all the monsters out there loudly advocating in favor of racism.

Where would we be without Hollywood?

And we need to recognize the courage of the giant multi-national corporations as well. They too have bucked the current in society and likewise taken hard, lonely stands against racism. For instance, Sprite put out a statement against racism and it was a long time coming for this high-fructose corn syrup delivery system dealer to confront head-on the terrible legacy of racist racism, if not diabetes. Other companies have done the same. Credit card companies, insurance companies, adult diaper companies…these corporate freedom fighters have publicly, through their PR consultants, committed to not be for racism, even if not liking racism costs them the business of the giant, amorphous customer base out there that strongly supports racism.

And many of these companies are not satisfied with merely putting out generic statements. They are reaching out directly to their customers to make sure their patrons are aware of their nonconformist position against racism, confident that we need to be reminded that no, they do not like racism. Not one bit.

They seek you out by bombarding you with emails with subject lines like “At Fred’s Pizza Barn, We Think Racism Is Bad” and “Zit-B-Gon Zit Cream Stands Strong Against Racism.” And if your email program sends these vital communiques to the spam folder, it needs to check its privilege.

All this is necessary to help you navigate the racism minefield of American commerce, lest you accidentally do business with one of the many pro-racism companies out there. How many times have you had to rent a car, but found yourself wondering, “I wonder if this rent-a-car company opposes racism or whole-heartedly embraces it?”

All too often.

But no more. Because, in your inbox, there is probably an email from your preferred rent-a-car provider reassuring you that yes, your preferred rent-a-car company is against racism.

Phew.

That is a relief. Take that, all you rent-a-car companies that love racism. I’m getting my next Ford Taurus that reeks of feet and used sausage from a company that doesn’t just rent me cars but also rents me racial justice.

Last week we celebrated Constitution Day by recognizing the importance of being a Republic.

Here is a great 10-minute video that I wish all Americans watched.

I also wish that British guy Simon Whistler had narrated it, because he makes everything sound so, so smart.
