Ok, it's not funny when someone dies but...

I confess that this story made me chuckle.

Quote:
McDonald's Corp. (MCD.N) Chairman and Chief Executive Jim Cantalupo, who helped turned the company around with a focus on better food and service, died on Monday of an apparent heart attack, the company said.

They say a man's most dangerous years are his '50's. Even though he was 60, the point is made:

You can't eat like a teenager all your life!

I'd like to know what his diet really was, just for general info, but can you imagine.

"No, he didn't eat that stuff. Too hard on the heart. Clogs arteries."

or

"Loved it. He ate off the store menu every day!"

This is a no-win situation for Mc D's...
