Strange Office Creatures #32

The person who took one finger of a chocolate-backed Scotch Finger, returning the remaining finger to the cookie jar.

Excuse the gender stereotyping, but I'd bet my life savings ($4.35) that the culprit was female.

I'm not saying that I didn't appreciate the thoughtful gesture, and I did also enjoy that remaining finger. But still, my heart was saddened at this example of such strict self-denial: "No. You must only have one digit. Don't even think about it, put it back in the jar. Good. Now replace the lid, turn aside, and return to your work station immediately, Self".

A Scotch Finger half eaten is a life half lived.

Reminds me of friends of mine who as young parents used to find Nice biscuits mysteriously devoid of their sugar topping in the biscuit barrel...

I'm impressed, I don't have the knack of splitting them lengthwise. Maybe she left the half to show off her finger splitting skillz.

Hey, they come with chocolate on the back now?!!!!

Gary- I'll remember that one next time the sugar jar's empty..

Jessica- Yeah I know.. I find breaking them pretty stressful. A sideways break is very dissappointing.

You've never had a choc one? They're pretty good, but I prefer the original. Some things don't need improving on.
