Ole Miss announced the formation of a new committee yesterday - The Lunch Committee. The University explained this newest committee in a press release just received at Jake's Ole Miss Blog headquarters this morning:
"I'm very pleased to announce my new Lunch Committee," Chancellor Dan Jones said. "Lunch has always been a very difficult decision for me since I moved to Oxford. When I worked at UMC I just went to the Wendy's on Woodrow Wilson or Backyard Burger because they were right across the street. Now that I'm here in Oxford I simply don't know where to go. If I go down University Avenue to the Square all the restaurants are just jammed together and there are so many choices. And then if I turn left and go down Jackson Avenue it gets even more difficult. Chinese? Chick Fil A? McDonald's? It's simply too much for one man, and lunch is too important a decision to get wrong. I want to make the best choice for lunch. That's why I've appointed this committee. The Mascot Selection Committee, the Help Me Find a Football Coach Without using the Athletic Director Committee and the Help me Find an Athletic Director to Replace the Athletic Director I can't Use Anymore Committee have all worked so well I think this new Lunch Committee makes the most sense for me and for Ole Miss."
"I have appointed John Currence of City Grocery and Big Bad Breakfast and food critic and writing extraordinaire John T. Edge to lead this committee. I think these two gentlemen are far more qualified than I to decide where I should eat lunch and I know they'll do a great job of helping me pick a decent restaurant."
Other members of the committee include a guy named Big Mo, the Fry Cook at Chick Fil A, and Mary the UPD parking enforcement cop.
"Chancellor Jones has charged us with finding the best place possible for him to eat each day," Currence said. "We will relentlessly pursue the best place for him to eat each day, and when necessary we will deliver his lunch to him. Our goal is for the Chancellor not to be responsible for picking his own lunch and we take this task very seriously. The Chancellor should not worry about picking his lunch when he could better spend his time picking more people for committees to make decisions for Ole Miss and we are glad we could help."
The Lunch Committee already made it's first selection for the Chancellor - A $5 Foot Long from Subway.
