Corey: “Hey, you wanna doughnut?”
Dan: “No thank you. I don’t eat baked goods.”
Corey: “Y’whut?”
Dan: “I don’t eat baked goods.”
Corey: “You don’t eat baked goods.”
Dan: “No, I don’t. Never have.”
Corey: “No doughnuts.”
Dan: “Nope.”
Corey: “No cookies.”
Dan: “No, don’t like ’em.”
Corey: “Cake?”
Dan: “No.”
Corey: “Pie.”
Dan: “No! I don’t eat baked goods. Period.”
Corey: “Nothing baked. If it’s been in an oven, and the oven was on, you won’t eat it.”
Dan: “That’s right. No baked goods.”
Corey: “What about a pork chop?”
Dan: Well, it has to rise. To have a crust or that kind of thing. You know, pastry like.”
Corey: “What about bread. Will you eat bread?”
Dan: “Well, sure I eat bread. Of course. Who doesn’t eat bread?”
Corey: “People who don’t eat ‘baked goods,’ that’s who.”
Dan: “Well, don’t be ridiculous. Of course I’ll eat some things that have been baked.”
Corey: “I thought so. That whole ‘I don’t eat baked goods’ thing seemed a little sweeping. I mean, I knew when you said it that you probably just meant desserts and not stuff like, uh, you know: a baked potato.”
Dan: “No.”
Corey: “‘No’ what?”
Dan: “No tubers. I don’t eat tubers.”
Ha! That made me laugh out loud. Perfect end to a stressful Friday. And I love the word tubers.
