McDonald’s Cheeseburger

My father was traveling through Memphis when I was a kid. As he was leaving Memphis he stopped at a McDonalds on Summer Avenue near the edge of town. He went into the store, went up to the counter and placed his order. He wanted a cheeseburger. A cheeseburger costs 65 cents. He told them he wanted a 65 cheeseburger. They understood that he wanted 65 cheeseburgers. The guy travelling with my dad got his order quickly. My dad was waiting for a while. This was a time when you didn’t pay for your meal until after they had the food at the counter. They brought out a big grocery bag full of McDonalds cheeseburgers. This is when they discovered that my dad only wanted one burger.
