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.
