GETTING HIS JUST DESSERTS ... AT 7TH AND MONTANA!


Eyes were popping at 7th and Montana this morning as an Unenlightened Newcomer ordered something from the pastry case. "Good God," I said, "What has he done? Someone stop him, quick!" But it was too late. He put the pastry -- a dry, crusty thing masquerading as a croissant -- into his mouth, and it stuck there like a new appendage. I was afraid he might lose consciousness. "Are you O.K.?," I asked, "The pastry around here can be lethal, you know." "I tht aww natrlll," he replied. "Yes," I said, "It's all natural. But so is sawdust and you wouldn't go popping that into your mouth, now would you?" He seemed to understand ... or at least I think he did. He jumped out of his chair and rushed headlong to the parking lot, no doubt on his way to the Emergency Room. I hope he's O.K. but, if not, at least we can say he died of natural causes ...!

You may need to stand on a soap box the next time you give out free advice.
Hope your CPR license is up to date, just in case.

Maybe it has chocolate inside. That would make it okay for me.
