Figures

An interesting conundrum today.
A lady was choosing her cake. Sometimes people ask my opinion, which I'm happy to give. Trouble is I only stock cakes I like, so I find it very difficult to rate one against the other. But this lady had a different question. Which, out of Millionaire's Shortbread and the pecan chocolate brownie, was the least fattening?
No clue.
Nor any desire to know.
They're both delicious and I would hate either to be judged on calorific value alone.
So I stared blankly.
She went for the brownie. I suggested she could eat half and take the rest home for later.
Her turn to stare. That, she said, would mean she'd have to share it with her husband.
Which was not going to happen.
