I
was on my way to a party last night (OK, it’s tonight, because I’m a genius)
and I stopped at the store to get something to bring. I’m tired, my feet hurt,
I grabbed the first thing I saw – a box of a dozen assorted doughnuts (NOT
DONUTS; don’t get me started, or I will have a conniption fit). They were discounted
twice. I was so lazy that I not only grabbed something off the closest display
to me as I entered, I picked the one on the top because I’m too lazy to even
expend the energy to BEND.
As I
shuffle with the box to the checkout, a voice comes over the loudspeaker
announcing that doughnuts are discounted A THIRD TIME. The checker makes sure I
get the discount, and I am generally applauded by the staff for making the
purchase. “Buying doughnuts!” they exclaim, nodding their heads and almost
pumping their fists.
Now,
one of two things has happened here – either they made waaaaaay too many
doughnuts yesterday, or I entered a state of mystical grace imposed by the
Doughnut Dimension, turning a reluctant errand into a triumphal progress out of
“Excalibur.”
The End. Oh, we kept the doughnuts They’re good!
