Toy Story
by Robert Byron

My five-year-old son is a big fan of the movie "Toy Story," so when
McDonalds offered the two main characters, Woody and Buzz Lightyear as
"Happy Meal" toys, my son had to have them both. We weren't interested in
buying any of the fat laden food from the fast food establishment but only
wanted the toys. My family and I pulled up to the drive through window and
my wife spoke into the microphone, "Do you have a Woody?"

"Excuse me?"

"Do you have a Woody? I need a Woody."

"Did you just ask me if I have a Woody?"

"Yes. I have to have a Woody."

"Oh, you want a Woody? Is that all?"

"No, I need a Buzz too. Do you have a Buzz?"

"I did have a Buzz. I'll check. Please pull ahead."

Realizing how all of this must sound, my wife and I were using all of our
might to keep from laughing. We arrived at the window and the clerk said, "I
have a Buzz but I don't have a Woody."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes ma'am. I checked and couldn't find a Woody anywhere."

"Okay, well just give me a Buzz then."

"Yes ma'am."

"Wait!" We heard another clerk calling. "I have a Woody! I have a Woody"
Heads were turning as the announcement was made.

We paid for the Woody and Buzz Lightyear and were on our way. Our son was
happy and my wife and I had had a good laugh at the expense of a major fast
food franchise. Everything was as it should be.
