Pow! Shazam! who knew that today is National Donut Day! Finally, a celebration for cops, kids and Catholics! In my youth, we went to Mass every Sunday. As a reward for sitting through sermons, part of our ritual was to buy the Sunday San Francisco Chronicle on our way out of church and then walk to the donut shop for a dozen. Actually, they always threw in an extra and called it a baker's dozen. The ride home was always too long, waiting to get our favorites out of the pink cardboard box. That takes care of the Catholics and kids. As for cops, well, we all know it's no urban myth that cops and donuts go together like...well, like cops and robbers!
Anyhow, the hole in the doughnut is at least digestible.
