THOSE MARVELOUS...BUT AWFUL..."SCONES"

"LET HIM WHO IS WITHOUT FAT...EAT THE FIRST SCONE"

A SCONE

My friends, you are looking at a "SCONE."

Okay..they are relatively new to me----

so this may be only half of ONE...or whatever...

who knows?

Our beloved women know all about these things

and other cute coffee-time treats...that men don't

fool with. Men just get two or three donuts each,

and Dunkin's  coffee and settle down with fishing

and hunting stories.

Now then, I have tried one or two of these,

along the trail...and they are certainly not 

like old Rooster Gogburn's "corn dodgers" 

(that he carried in TRUE GRIT). I'm  pretty

sure...

These things just tempt a writer to come up

with all kinds of plays-on-words, like "He 

who lives in an obese body should not stow

scones."

Why? 

Because these  odd-bread-thingies  could 

be harmful to your health.

Check this---this "mini-scone" one measures

only three inches across the hypotenuse,

but it will fool you. Doncha know that the

sum of the squares of the "legs" by the

right angle...equal the sum of the...er...

hypotenuse...." or something...I never did

need to know that before, anyway...so

let's move on...

Getting down to the sugar-gritty, that little

snack in the photo has calories galore---

I mean...LOTS! Check it...guess one...

(1) 68 calories

(2) 128 calories

(3)  235 calories

(4). 420 calories

(5). 614 calories

(6)  NONE of the above

Here's the skinny, so to speak: a person

on a 1200 calories-per-day-diet could afford

to eat only three of these little scones...and

still be fudging (oops...bad word choice) some 

at that.

So Boys, we best leave the EXOTIC COFFEE-

BREAK-BREADS  to the girls, and just stick

with our donuts...ah but don't anyone check

donut calories...you might ruin everything.
