'bullet Proof'. There's A Feature In The Pull-Out Section Of The Local Paper Today On This New Burger Joint.

There was a time, not so long ago, when this might be seen as an assurance that customers would be safe there. Now it's just a tasteless name. Isn't it good we've come so far?

[Svejk]

Might it be a haven from 'Alan's Snack Bar'?

[sandyRoe]

There's still plenty of greasy spoon joints here offering all day Ulster Fry breakfasts. You can eat yourself into an early grave at a remarkably low price.

[Togo]

It may mean that the burgers are bullet proof sandy.

[HansUrbancka]

Following along thr lines of Togo......Perhaps the Burgers have been taste tested and have been proved to be as hard as bullets. Hence the proof is from testing and they have been classified accordingly.

Hans.

[Zacs-Master]

A bit in bad taste in NI.

[Mamyalynne]

Not a particulary nice name I grant you, looks like they've usedthis definition...

3. so well thought out as to be resistant to criticism or certain to succeed; as, a bulletproof plan.

[sandyRoe]

Could the owners of this place have shot themselves in the foot? Their prices aren't the lowest. Cheese burgers (2)are £15 and 'hand cut chips' £2.75.

[Baldric]

Looks like they need to be bulletproof

[Gavmacp]

“Rhetoric does not get you anywhere, because Hitler and Mussolini are just as good at rhetoric. But if you can bring these people down with comedy, they stand no chance.”
This is a quote from Mel Brooks.
I think this is a different approach to evil which is sometimes better than the stupid rantings I read on this site.

[sandyRoe]

Bertold Brecht wrote a brilliant play mocking Hitler, the resistable rise of Arturo Ui. I remember the beeb showed it just before the election of Nixon for his second term in office.
It's good that we can laugh at politicians, and ourselves.

[Togo]

Thank you sandy. I will relish that one.
