I was sitting in the office, when I suddenly got a craving for a cookie. It's been happening a lot lately. A cookie, and a hot cup of coffee. Mmmm.
But here's the thing: I'd already had a cup of coffee today. And I'm well-rested – any caffeine would just upset my stomach and might even agitate me. And it's not particularly good for me anyway. But I did want it.
So I did the obvious: I got a cup of decaf.
The first cup of decaf I've ever bought. Almost immediately I felt guilty... throwing out the spiritual core of my cup of coffee like that. Like I've accelerated my emotional aging process. Why not just move to the suburbs right now? I'm such a sell-out.
But it was tasty. So was the cookie; I wanted to get one of those praline toffee squares, but they were out. But the choc-chip cookie I got instead was Not Bad At All. Damn, I love cookies.

Dude, anything can happen between that line and the teller. What's dumb is thinking that I would have shaved precious seconds from my transaction had I scribbled my name out before hand. The only people hurting for that kind of time are struggling to decide between cutting the red or green wire.
