Dennis was a very interesting guy, whom I had gotten to know pretty well, along with a number of other members of his extended family. One day he came in and opened with a twinkle in his eye:
“Doc, I’m very proud of myself. I lost 10 lbs. on my new diet!”
“Really? What diet is that?”
“The Chocolate Truffle Diet!”
“What? How does that work?”
“Well, you see, I love chocolate truffles. I thought others would love them, too. So, I decided to make some to give away to my friends. When I found out what was in them, I couldn’t eat them any more! So, I still make them and give them away, but I’ve lost 10 lbs!”
