The Brownie

(actually it should be called The Blackie but I don't want to throw you off just yet)



You know, I used to like to bowl every Saturday night with some friends. Traditionaly I try to get people from that gathering to grab a bite after the game. A few consecutive times I went with Glass-Eye Vin and his lady. At these diner visits (real late at night) Glass-Eye would crave a brownie for dessert but a combination of guilt, his lady's deprivement of chocolate and the fact that it wasn't the the dessert of the week stopped him from doing so. This distressed me as well.

One night it is only Glass-eye and I at the diner. It is also brownie week. The two of us were gleeful for this opportunity. When the waiter brought the brownies they were HUGE and looked scrumptous. After cleaning the drool off of our faces we took our first bites. Not Bad! The second bite was a disaster!! It had the nastiest taste you could find in a brownie.

The inside was almost pure black and the taste was too rich! We had waited all that time for this moment and we couldn't even swallow the second bite. This gave me a revelation about a situation I was getting over where I had to wait a long time for something good and I was left with a bad taste in my mouth when I tried to get it.

Keep this story in mind people. Not everything is worth waitng for.You could be waiting around for a bad tasting blackie!
