Firebringer News Service (FBNS) - Experts warned today of a
new and deadly threat to our beleaguered civilization: the
100GB Bug.
 
As most people know, McDonald's restaurant signs show the
number of hamburgers the giant chain has sold.  That number
now stands at 99 billion burgers, or 99 Gigaburgers (GB).
Within months or even weeks, that number will roll over to
100GB.
 
McDonald's signs, however, were designed years ago, when
the prospect of selling one hundred billion hamburgers
seemed unthinkably remote.  So the signs have only two
decimal places.
 
This means that, after the sale of the 100 billionth
burger, McDonald's signs will read "00 Billion Burgers
Sold." This, experts predict, will convince the public
that, in over thirty years, no McDonald's hamburgers have
ever in fact been sold, causing a complete collapse of
consumer confidence in McDonald's products.
 
The ensuing catastrophic drop in sales is seen as almost
certain to force the already-troubled company into
bankruptcy. This, in turn, will push the teetering American
economy over the brink, which, finally, will complete the
total devastation of the global economy, ending
civilization as we know it, and forcing us all to live on
beetles.
 
"The people who know -- the sign-makers -- are really
scared of 100GB," one expert said. "I don't know about you,
but I'm digging up a copy of 'The Field Guide To North
American Insects' and heading for the hills."
