"I'm loving it, and so is the person in the next car..."

It started at 7:15 the other morning at a McDonald's in Ocean Springs, Mississippi, and even though a lot of people would tell you that seven in the yawning is way too early to be thinking of the guy in the car behind you, a woman who's a regular visitor to that drive-thru offered to pay that person's tab.

And then that person said he would cover the next person, and then the person after that, and the person after that, and on and on it went...

Ms Waters

125 people formed a chain of generosity. For more than an hour, every patron got their breakfast, courtesy of the car before them, and then paid for the next car.

Heidi Waters, general manager of the McDonald's, says this happens a lot at her store, where an average of 5 - 10 cars in a row figure that someone else deserves a break today. But this time,  "About the 20th car that paid it forward is when everybody was like, 'Oh, my goodness. Here it goes,' and it just went," Waters told WLOX-TV.

"It was actually very exciting," she told the TV news. "The kids got really excited."

Clearly, Ms Waters and her crew and the people in her community are imbued with a sense of goodness that we all should try to emulate.  It's such a nice thing that it even makes me stop wondering who the poophead was, the 125th person, who took their free eats and drove off without continuing the charity.

Ah, whaddya gonna do?

By the way, when I first saw this story as it appeared on the UPI newsfeed, the story referred to a McDonald's in Ocean Springs, Missouri, which is, for all its many virtues, still quite a landlocked state.  Then it hit me...the person who saw the story about a McDonalds in Ocean Springs, MS, thought "MS" stood for Missouri, known and loved as "MO."

Whaddya gonna do?
