SAVANNAH - Katherine Sheppard waited her whole life to be asked one simple question -- ``Would you like fries with that?&#39;&#39; <br> <br> The 94-year-old Savannah resident never had eaten fast food before Tuesday, when she visited a McDonald&#39;s and was treated to a sampler of modern-day staples -- a Big Mac, Filet-o-Fish and Chicken McNuggets. <br> <br> Sheppard said her favorite was the Big Mac, but she liked the fish sandwich too. <br> <br> Restaurant owner Pat Tracy also gave Sheppard a goodie bag filled with a purple McDonald&#39;s straw, a ceramic McDonald&#39;s coffee mug, a small, stuffed Ronald McDonald doll and an old-style McDonald&#39;s paper hat signed by the crew. <br> <br> Sheppard&#39;s son -- Edward Sheppard -- aid his mother had missed out on the fast-food experience for the past nine and a half decades because she was too busy cooking for herself.
