Trout has her priorities, Agnes has her questions. “it is better to ponder great philophical questions while enjoying the wonder of a morning fresh longjohn with chocolate icing, than to have nothing in the hand or on the tastebuds.”
Agnes, Agnes — knowing Trout’s proclivities, you might have asked, “If the day comes when you’re diagnosed with diabetes and have to give up sugar, would you wish you’d never tasted a doughnut, or that you’d eaten them every day.”
Same question in a more Trout-centric form. To be heard, a philosopher must speak to the needs and concerns of her audience.

Some idiot juggled the maple logs at the 7-11 & they were stuck frosting side down. Shoot him.

Trout would like the words of Lou Reed: “Gimme an issue, I’ll give you a tissue—you can wipe my (butt) with it.”
