Isn't It Ironic?


I have been installing windows in XTO's fifteen-story Petrolium Building in downtown Fort Worth since June 11th. Yesterday when I entered the lobby to sign in through security, I noticed a flyer posted on the wall that was advertising a fundraiser for the American Heart Association that XTO is hosting. I casually glanced at it and quickly noticed something odd. The flyer listed the food and the prices. The prices were not the problem...after all, it is a fundraiser. What dumbfounded me was the food they are going to be serving: hotdogs, chili dogs, nachos, and frito pie--you know, foods like that which one doesn't usually put together with health in mind.

Perhaps through this fundraiser, the AHA is trying to further their research by getting people to eat more food that is bad for the heart. I don't know. Regardless of the reasoning, the security guard and I had a good laugh about it.
