No Thank You

Anytime anyone in the office is on a weight loss challenge the boss man (who also needs to be on a weight loss challenge and we remind him of this on a daily basis) sets out to make it his personal goal to tempt you with very bad foods. For instance, he will bring in donuts or set at his desk eating a pint of ice cream that he had me pick up on my lunch break. The latest example of his temptation is detailed below. Please, try to hold your gasps of horror 'til the end. Voo Doo victim #2

I was setting at my desk working (as I ALWAYS do) reviewing a students ledger with Rubber Nut. I could tell there was another bodily presence behind me and assumed it was the boss man. When all of the sudden this giant chocolate chip muffin so perfectly displayed on a plate appeared inches from my nose. The muffin was waving back and forth with this voice saying "hmmm, doesn't this look good? hmmm, doesn't this smell good". At this point I snapped and stabbed the delightful treat with a highlighter. The boss man let out a small childish scream and attempted to pull the muffin back but to no avail. My inner voice was screaming "DESTROY THE MUFFIN, DESTROY THE MUFFIN". The muffin displayed the behavior of a hot potato as we were both grabbing for it. Me to destroy it and the boss man to save it. It was rolling around, it was flipping up in the air and chocolate chips were flying everywhere. I finally got may hands on the muffin at which time I squeezed the delightful treat with all I had. The whole time this incident is occurring Rubber Nut is witnessing it from the sidelines literally jumping up and down exclaiming "Yes, Yes, Yes!" Ahhh, satisfaction!

The boss man cradled his poor muffin and waddles back to his hole trying to put the pieces back together all the while mumbling something under his breath to the affect of "you are a mean, mean person". LIFE IS GOOD!!

So boss man - No Thank You. I don't believe I will partake in a muffin today.
