Did I Just Hear You Say You Don’t Believe In Inflation?

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 paid her $1.13 and took my Slightly Bigger Holed Donut back to the table where we planned to eat our Vitamin Filled Treasures and tell our lies and insult each other for the next 20 minutes.

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?
