OMG I cannot watch this. This is too much. Eric, have you considered that some kids (such as mine or @Chris’s) may actually watch this? What are you thinking? ---

Truly sad. You just never know how long you have. You take something for granted, then the next moment it’s gone. ☹ ---

??? Loss of a corn dog, while tragic and very very sad, is all I see. @Michel and @Bradford - I’m light on coffee this morning so I may have completely missed the sarcasm in your comments. LOL. ---

My oldest would NOT be happy over the tragic loss of a perfectly fried corn dog at the state fair. Tragic indeed. ---

Fixed his second spoiler 🙂 Btw, @mikep, I had to watch it twice to figure it out… Lack of coffee too! ---

Funny how everyone watched it though, right? Despite the warning. 😮 🤣 ---

I’d had plenty of coffee but I still had to watch it three times to realize what was happening. It’s over so quickly. The end can be like that. ---

I think it was particularly hard on Eric to watch this. 😿 ---

> [@Thomas](#): > > I think it was particularly hard on Eric to watch this. Yes, I did title my post “horrific”. Sometimes the waitress tries to take my wife’s plate because she is finished eating, but there is still food on it. I do not let that happen! ---

Once I had finished eating but left a pizza crust on my plate, and I flagged down a waitress and said I was finished. She looked at my plate and said, “No, you’re not,” and walked away!
