One afternoon at McDonalds

WHAT WOULD YOU DO?

An elderly gentleman named Gus sat in a booth a McDonald’s restaurant consuming with delicate delight his daily dose of decadence: a caramel sundae.

As he sat savoring each gooey spoonful of the artificially flavored, artery-clogging treat, his attention was drawn from the crossword puzzle he was working to a group of disturbingly loud teenagers who had burst into the restaurant.

One of the miscreants sauntered toward the old-timer and demanded his dessert. Without word or hesitance, Gus being the obliging sort, gave the punk what he demanded: Gus shoved what was left in the cup into the punk’s face.

Gus quickly jumped to his feet prepared for the fight he was certain was eminent. Surprisingly, the other teenagers began laughing, as did the punk with Gus’ dessert oozing down his face.

Unbeknownst to Gus, the episode was caught on hidden camera for the TV show, What Would You Do?
