luckily Chocolate doesn't waste any of the space allocated to it - when was the last time you purchased a chocolate bar only to find a HOLE in the middle of it ....

I think to us non Americans the doughnut is somewhat hard to understand. Few places even sell them here in Oslo.

You're missing the point, my good man. The hole is only a cunning illusion. The appearance of something missing only makes you want it all the more. But, in fact, nothing is missing. Every hole is filled to the brim with anticipation and desire. Chocolate? Never heard of it.

Oh I understand .... so the hole is an illusionary property of the doughnut and has no bearing on the luxury of eating it ?

How many holes does it take before one is fully fed ?

Funny though I thought the hole was a device that allowed you to slip it over your arms and help save drowning persons in the lake, the ocean or a large vat of supreme chocolate .....

NO! It has everything to do with the luxury of eating it! Want. Desire. Temptation. Anticipation. These add to the luxuriousness of devouring a doughnut. Got it?

If you desire the hole that much, then why not purchase said hole in its entirety. Or does one need the dough in order to hold up the hole ?

Hurmmm tomorrow is Doughnut Day, and sadly unless I can find a vegan sugar-free doughnut I'm out of luck.
