My company is pretty cool. Today it hit 100 degrees here in Phoenix for the first time this year. It is a tradition that the VPs of each department distribute Dilly Bars (ice cream) to their staff to celebrate the occasion. They go around ringing little Good Humor bells and everything.
I got my chocolate Dilly Bar and flipped it over to read the nutritional info. There's a lotta carbs in those things! But still I might have crumbled if not for the fact that recent dental work has left my teeth very sensitive to hot and cold. I pictured the uncomfortable sensation of cold ice cream on my tender toothies.
Twitching a little, I strode past the other employees happily slurping their bars, and deposited mine in one of the office freezers, surrendering it to community property. Whew! Thank goodness for bad teeth!
