Someone brought donuts in to work today. Since I work in a department with mostly women, that means that right now, 5/16ths of a donut remain in the donut box.
A guy would never do this.
See, if there’s five guys in a department and someone brings in four donuts, that means that four guys gets donuts and one guy gets nothing. But if there’s five women in a department and only four donuts, you can guarantee by the end of the day there will be a box with only 5/16ths of a donut in it. And no one will know where any of the donuts, or donut parts, went!
This is an axiom. You cannot deny it.
This is why guys sometimes have to take it upon themselves to be merciful to the last donut. If we get to the box and there are only two donuts left, we take both of them. Because there’s nothing more pathetic than seeing 5/16ths of a donut. Alone. In the wilderness of a donut box.
