Krispy Kreme, WMD 3

Apparently the USA DHS has nothing on the Brits:

“Imagine our confusion when the guy serving us advised that we could only buy ring doughnuts, not filled, circular doughnuts. A moment or two’s wrangling in broken English and we discovered that he thought we were outbound passengers.

On further questioning, apparently the liquid contents of a filled doughnut fall foul of the new restrictions on liquids in carry on luggage. Quite how the authorities imagine that a terrorist could blow up a 747 by rubbing two Krispy Kremes together was a bit beyond us.

    Sometimes, I really like the British dry sense of humor. (I’ve never been too thrilled about Krispy Kremes, either. Over rated, to my way of thinking.)

    We must part company here. After having a Krispy Kreme, eating a Dunkin Donut is sort of like eating a bowling ball, but without the delightful crunchy coating.

    You and Chris. He goes to the store to wait for them to come out of the oven. Then buys a dozen & eats them himself. If I’m going to have a donut, most of the time I’m stressed & looking for chocolate, anyway.
