Imagine you are a very loyal patron of a restaurant.

It is your routine, on a daily basis, to stop in for lunch and order the “Number Three” special.

You do this every day for a year.

Then, the day after your loyal customer anniversary, you see someone with what appears to be the Number Three. Except it’s different. It has a pickle.

Where the hell did that come from, you think to yourself. You ain’t never seen no pickle on the Number Three. You’re a loyal customer so you decide to ask. That pickle looks damn good and would go well with your customary bit of kibble.

“How do you get the pickle?” you ask like the naive idiot that you are.

That’s when your “friend” on the other side of the counter cheerfully replies, “Oh, the numbered combo specials always come with a pickle.”

MOTHAFUCKA!

That moment of discovery when you realize you’ve been getting screwed and didn’t even know it? That’s the story of my life.
