The committee met to discuss the pressing issue of who ate the last donut in the break room. Steve (æk) was in attendance, along with members Bob (chair), Linda (secretary), and Mike (who just likes being here).
Steve: I did not eat the donut. I swear on my grandmother's honor. (or was that my mother's honor? Hmm, might have been my aunt's.)
Linda: We all know you did, Steve. The evidence is clear: the box is empty.
Bob: Agreed. The box is empty, and so is Steve's heart, judging by his lack of remorse.
Mike: Can we talk about the budget for the new stapler?
Linda: Not now, Mike. This is a donut-related crisis.
