Don’t you dare try and deny it! I heard you say you don’t believe in Inflation! Here is exactly what you said, “Yea, prices go up a little bit. So what? A little bit is not much. Certainly a little bit is not Inflationary!”
Or is it?

The other day I was with the guys in a Dunkin Donuts. I ordered a Single Donut. Compared to others in the display case, it looked to be bigger.
I may have thought it was bigger because it had a hole in the middle and Mr. Dunkin probably makes the Holed Ones slightly bigger to try and trick the Donut Eater into thinking they are bigger to compensate the eater for the loss of the hole.
I have thought about this before but this time I actually asked the Donut Dolly if the donut I was tempted to buy was truly bigger. She said it was slightly bigger but it came with the hole in the middle which is where Mr. Dunkin puts the Vitamins.
Don’t you just love it when you come across an Honest Donut Dolly?

I know I just made my Female Dear Readers reading this Blog Posting sad because they know they do not participate in this time-honored Male Tradition. I actually feel sorry for my Female Dear Readers because they do not do this with your female friends. They are really missing out on a lot of fun.

Where Did The Inflation Part Of This Blog Posting Go?
Were you wondering if the Inflation Part of this Blog Posting went away? Don’t you get your hopes up. Inflation never goes away.
Once I sat down at the Lying and Insulting Table I placed my Holed Vitamin Filled Donut on a spread out napkin. It was then that the full weight of Inflation hit me.
It seemed like only yesterday that, when I was 8 years old, I used to do to Long’s Bakery on Carrolton Avenue in New Orleans and buy Box Of Cream Filled Much Bigger Without Holes Donuts for $.40 a dozen!
No, they did not have holes but I was sure the Vitamins were in there somewhere. How did I know that? I knew because I asked the Donut Dolly and she told me, “You bet ya, little fella. These here donuts are chock full of vitamins.”
Would I kid u?

Holy Donut Batman!
Maybe you could start a program with some sort of grant from the NOW gang to let woman or whatever experience meeting at the donut shop or in Baton Rouge at Rocco’s Po-Boys. Fried shrimp, oysters and roast beef have more vitamins and no hole compared to donuts. It will improve their days and they can see the enemy feeding and discussing inflation. If include order of fried onions you are a the top of the vitamin scale. If you can’t trust a family from St. Bernard Parish who can you trust but a S1.13 only gets you a root beer so that where the grant comes it?
I think you're on to something, but I'm not exactly sure what. In 1949, the average income in the US was around $3,000 per year so the average family could afford around 90,000 donuts per year. In 2018, the average income in the US was around $60,000 per year so the average family could only afford 53,000 donuts. Does this explain vitamin deficiency in this country??
I have trouble adjusting to our non inflation prices: when I was a kid I could buy a delicious hamburger at the El Rancho cafe in Evant, TX for 50 cents. Last week Suzanne and I had two cheeseburgers with fries and water to drink at the Red Robin: cost, with tip, $30.
