Wisconsin Man With OCD Eats 23,000 Big Macs Since 1972

It's next to impossible to find a good, humorous mental health story--Lord knows, I've tried--but here's one out of the AP's odd news file about a man with OCD.

"Talk about a Big Mac attack! Don Gorske says he has eaten 23,000 of the burgers in 36 years. The Fond du Lac man said he hit the 23,000 milestone last month, continuing a culinary obsession that began May 17, 1972, and is fed by his obsessive-compulsive disorder.

"'I enjoy them every day,' said Gorske, 54. 'I need two to fill me up.'"

"Gorske has kept every burger receipt in a box. He says he was always fascinated with numbers, and watching McDonald's track its number of customers motivated him to track his own consumption.

"Despite a diet some would call unhealthy, Gorske says he keeps himself in good shape. He says he's 6-foot-2 and weighs 185 pounds, and walks as many as 10 miles a day."

This guy has been eating Big Macs every day since he was 18! And to keep himself from missing a day due to work irregularities and snow storms, he keeps several Big Macs in a freezer at home. Now that's dedication.
