...for a donut-maker

[thiel]

How many donuts have I purchased from that man at the bottom of the ramp? I feel that it might be close to a hundred. Today, after all these years, I returned to Footscray and gave the donut-maker a carnation. He was in the process of hand-rolling the balls, but turned at my approach and accepted the gift through the window. I had to reach it over

I wonder where I might find a dolphin-shaped squirter of jam... I had a teacher back in high school, whom I gave much grief, that might like one.. ^__^

Just a side note, if I could, I'd send you one of those nifty little v-gift flowers LJ has to offer.. But alas, I am broke... again.. Someday though! Someday...

I look forward to the V-gift - but for your sake, not mine...

I have no idea about finding a jam-squirter. The guy may well have made the thing himself!

[adnara]

Aww :)

These people never seem happy or grateful for the flowers. Except for the clown-guy on stilts. But then, I guess that would be a fun job.

[thiel]

You're right - some people are happier than others...

Sigh.

[adnara]

Ah well. That's their problem. I'd be thrilled if a stranger gave me a flower, so it's not your fault they're grumpy :)

I work at a donut shop :D
It sure is a happy industry.

[sockscantmatch]

I just got a job at a bakery... it's sort of the same thing?

[thiel]

Cool job!
Stay happy.

did you think he might have thought you wanted to ask him for a donut secret-recipe?

perhaps the squirter of jam might have been useful in squirting you in the eye then. yeouch.

I'm sure that he would have had no qualms whatsoever about using the thing as a blinding weapon. Fortunately I was perfectly comfortable leaving the recipe to him...
