Entry1


Exhibit 2

Suspect: Ally (repeat offender)

Alleged Offense: Consuming McNuggets and fries at the mall food court McDonalds in Krakow (not even at the historic McDonalds!)

Exhibit 3

Suspect: Tanya

Alleged Offense: Eating at KFC in Krakow

Defense:"I was obviously enlightening myself about how fast-food chains market cross-culturally.  The hypothesis was that the KFC menu and food differ from country to country because the people differ, and I had to test this!  I came to the conclusion that the chicken was meatier and less fried (something that yes, did require a taste test and yes, did require multiple pieces of chicken for a good sample size).  One might be quick to accuse me that I was actually having dinner, but witnesses can testify that I consumed an entire pierogi dinner beforehand and the KFC meal was simply a cross-cultural test.  I had to take one for the team!"

Verdict: Guilty
