Darkness and Donuts

My intern is gone.
My girl went to Alaska in the company of another guy.
(For work. What were you thinking?)
The dog doesn't respect me, and the horses are bored with me.
The plumbing is broken.
If I owned a truck, it would break down.
All is darkness.
Oh, how I long for the sweet release of...donuts.
Through donuts, we can all be renewed for the tail end of the week. Donut lounge, 10:00.

Road Donut

I found a donut lying in the road the other day. Since no one was around, and since it looked unmarked, I picked it up (thinking I might eat it). As I held it in my hand, it spoke to me.
“I am a magic donut”, it said. “If you eat me, you will receive wealth and fame and power.”
I thought to myself, “that sounds pretty good, I’d eat a donut I found in the road for those benefits.”
Then it said, “but you may NEVER eat another donut, as long as you live, or the spell will be broken.”
That sounded like a difficult bargain to keep, but wealth and power sounded pretty good, so I ate the donut.
This morning, I found that someone had deposited $1300 in my bank account…

See you at donuts this morning. 10:00 in the donut lounge.

Psycho Donuts

What are these folks so upset about? They're just donuts that make light of mental illness...

Thanks to Melody Pfister for this one.
