The circles in which I circulate are notorious for wanton abuse of Wendy's job applications (scroll down to see "Job Application at Wendy's", although the entire tale is very amusing) so, when on the drive home from Toronto we stopped at a Wendy's/Tim Hortons rest stop, I could not resist picking one up. This amused Rustem, Cuchulain, Olwen, Jsmill, and Lady Mollweide, who were in the van with me, on much of the drive.
