I like grapefruits.
I had one for breakfast. Then I went for a walk. And it was windy. And there was an ice cream place. I applied for a job there. WHY WON'T THEY HIRE ME?!?!? But everybody likes donuts. But if your house was made out of donuts and you ate them, you'd have donuts. But you wouldn't have a house. :( The stringbeans are sprouting. And they're in the window because it's too cold to plant them outside, where there was a deer in the backyard and my dog tried to catch it but couldn't. My foot is cold.

1. Ah yes. April 14.
That's when they give away free mushrooms around here, too.

:silly:

3. In that case, I admire your spirit.
This world needs more poetry and spontaneity.

4. There's plenty of poetry but it's all being written in secret
and the people who write it never tell anyone.

But think about it. If your house was made of donuts and you ate them. Then let's say some nice person gave you a box of donuts. You'd be like, "Oh great thanks. But I STILL DON'T HAVE A FREAKING HOUSE!"

5. If your house was made of donuts and you ate them.
Then someone gave you more donuts, I'd have to say, "Hey, thanks, but I can't take part of your house, man!"

Sadder is the realization that if your house was made of donuts, that's a lot of donuts. If you ate them, you'd know a long time before they were all gone that you were starting down a bad path. You'd start to rationalize your appetite: "I don't want to lose my house, but these donuts -- they're great! Well... I really don't need that second bedroom."

6. Ya know what I did inside my own head after reading your OP?
I heard a little bongo drum roll, and instead of clapping I snapped my fingers in a congratulatory gesture.
:headbang:

10. No, sorry, I gave the rest of the donuts to some lady.
She looked kind of confused. Then I ran away and hid in an elevator. I have no false teeth yet.

12. A grapefruit of the pink variety
Absolut Vodka, crushed ice and a twist of lime
can be sublime
