For as long as I can remember, I?ve had this coupon from Burger King. It was on my dresser; then in my wallet for a couple years; now it?s in my glove box. It?s good for a free Whopper at any location and it has no expiration date. I haven?t used it because I?m never in a Burger King and remember about the coupon at the same time.

I often think about this coupon. The fact that it will never expire makes it special, almost magical. I almost feel like I SHOULDN'T use it. What if there?s a time when I need a free Whopper much more than now? What if I?m starving, and outside a Burger King, and my only remaining possession is the coupon?

I will give this Burger King coupon to my children. I will laugh from my grave as my great-great-grandson presents this eternal, unrenounceable coupon to the aghast heads of Galactic Burger King Incorporated in exchange for the last Whopper in the universe, valued at one hundred trillion dollars.
