Had not made cookies for the deputies for a while. Made up some chocolate chip ones, and set them in the back area where the desks are.
One of the deputies came in, who is known to be a card. I mentioned there were cookies available. In true drama king form, he moaned, "I just lost the weight from Christmas, you are horrible..." and other things implying that I was trying to raise the BMI of all county law enforcement.
On and on...
So, I piped up, and said, "Geez, should I have brought in rice cakes, instead?"
He replied, loudly, "Haven't you ever heard, 'DON'T FEED THE BEARS'?" However, the effect was somewhat spoiled by his mouth being full of cookie...
I laughed, as I noticed that the poor new person kept looking at the two of us like we had lost our respective minds...
I'm laughing too, Cat. That is funny!
ReplyDeleteI just loved the expression on the poor new person's face! Not used to the banter, I guess...

I bet you make terrific cookies.
ReplyDeleteHusband thinks so, but I suspect he's just a wee bit biased....

Heeheehee! Next time, bring fruit and tell him that's what bears eat in the wild!
ReplyDeleteI am really tempted to leave him a rice cake, with a note saying it's fair, because that isn't really food! :D
