In the old days, people complained that bakers were cheating them by making their rolls too small. So when a baker sold a dozen rolls he’d throw in a thirteenth as a goodwill gesture. Which is where we get the expression “baker’s dozen”!
What a dope you are Ralph. You’ve been hanging around Norman too long. You’re like the guy who said to cut the pizza into 4 slices because he couldn’t eat 6 slices, same size pizza but fewer slices.
I think of this every shower. I remember when soap was a rectangular solid, wrapped in paper. They have rounded all corners and made the large surfaces concave to conceal they shrinkage in size and it rattles around in a box smaller than its original dimensions.

yeah right. I’ll lay you odds Ralph’s wife got to the donut shops, and ordered them to make their donuts smaller.

speaking of holes…looks like the one in Ralph’s head is getting bigger by the moment!

That`s a real `touch`. I`m not sure that I could tell the difference in weight between a donut, and a half of a donut…

Since the holes have been trending smaller since 1927, they had to reverse at some time or become fulfilled.

Seems a lax building code in Drabbleville allowed them to place the donut shop in the middle of the sidewalk.

That’s what happens when you buy stuff from a big box store.

And that’s logical because a hole gets bigger the more you take from it…

Mr. Drabble is a little dim witted. Making the holes large & the same size does make them lighter & essentially smaller!
