Yesterday, Herkamer put his favorite temptations Doritos and Chocolate covered almonds into his basket on the way to get some milk. Although he was on a diet, his purpose was to show those tasty treats that he could resist them. He walked happily back to the dairy area, grabbed a gallon of milk, and as he put it into the baskets said, “There, now you have some company, and I'm still stronger than you.” Of course, all the Doritos and chocolate covered almonds did was sit there.
Herkamer returned to the isle where the Doritos and almonds were to be put back when he stated to the morsels, “You know, I am so strong over you that I am going to buy you, put you in my car, and I'm not going to eat one of you”, and with that resolve, he walked toward the checkout counter.
At the checkout counter, Herkamer put the milk, Doritos and almonds on the conveyor belt, mumbled a couple more resolves at the treats and paid the attendant. He took the bag of items to his car, and he could swear that he heard them whispering to him. “One, just eat one, Herkamer, just eat one”. Herkamer ignored them for a moment, and then they seemed to talk louder. “HERKAMER, JUST EAT ONE, HERKAMER, JUST EAT ONE”.
As Herkamer drove, he looked longingly at the bag of Doritos and the box of almonds. His saliva began to flow, and he could remember the taste of those long desired treats. Finally, he could resist no more and said, “Oh shoot, what does one hurt. I mean how much does one Dorito weigh anyhow, and for that matter, an almond weighs hardly anything?” to which he opened the bag and box.
Stay tuned for the end of the story tomorrow. Same blog time. Same blog page. Until tomorrow...Why Say more?
