Timing Is Everything...

Yep, that is definitely a picture of a maple bar!

Let me explain. :)

Basically, our cousin, Linda, is awesome, and she got us tickets to the PBR at the Comcast Events Center for Saturday night. When we got there, I was starving. I realized I hadn't eaten for several hours. I saw an oasis: The "Frost Doughnuts" sign. Hehehehe.

I waited until I saw a break in the bullriding before I got up to go up to the concourse, and even had to wait in line behind another person before I got up to the counter. So, note the title of the blog post, and I'll move on...

When I got up there, I watched from the front of the concourse all the events happening with the bull shuffling and the cowboys moving around super quick. That was a good 5 minutes or so.

I walked over to the doughnut place, spotted the maple bar topped with bacon (Frost's specialty - and a SERIOUS splurge for us any day!) I asked the kid there for it, and he said, "Okay, that'll be $3.00." No sooner had I grabbed my debit card than I noticed two guys standing next to me. One of them said, "Oh, dude! Is that the last one?!" And he pointed to my doughnut.

Great. This is going to go over well.

The kid working behind the counter sort of smiled, and said, "Yep. Sorry. There's a regular maple bar."

These two guys - they were really desperate for that darn maple bar topped with bacon. The one who was talking said, "I'll give you $3.00 for that maple bar!"

I replied, "No way! They COST $3.00!"

He says, "Dude, we'll PAY you for it!"

I said, "Yeah, right!"

The second guy said, "I only got $20."

First guy says, "Come on, girlie, we're entertaining a client upstairs in a box, and we told him about these doughnuts and he wants one."

I replied, "Great. Take that plain maple bar."

"We'll pay you $5!"

Me (laughing): "No!"

He says, "$10. Come on. $10." This is when the OTHER guy started begging. First guy then says, "I'll even BUY you that plain maple doughnut."

I thought about it, and said, "You realize it's JUST bacon? You can get a regular maple bar and put bacon on it?"

"We don't have bacon! Come on, girlie!"

I said, "Fine." So, they bought me my $3.00 maple bar, and paid me $10 for the bacon maple bar.

Cha-ching! Timing is everything....
