| - Let me describe every experience I've ever had at Sokolowski's, as the same thing happens every single time:
I'm standing in line with my dining companion(s), eagerly awaiting my turn when it happens: I spot ONE piece of chocolate silk pie on the dessert shelf. I quickly count how many people are ahead of me in the cafeteria line and start mentally calculating the odds of one of the other, less deserving, people in line taking it.
Amazingly, person after person passes up that last slice of chocolate pie, opting instead for fluffy coconut cream pie, carrot cake or, insanely, Jello. Dummies!
I start to get anxious and excited the closer I get... Only three more competitors and I'll be in the home stretch... Two more and the pie is mine!! By the time I grab a tray and silverware, I'm pretty much in a full-on fatty panic.
It's almost my turn! OMG! I'm going to finally get that delicious creamy, chocolately, fluffy goodness, it's all mine, it's all mine!!! And then...
The motherf*cker in front of me snatches it.
EVERY SINGLE TIME.
Dejected, I'll end up consoling myself with a mountain-high plate of starchy, buttery goodness like pierogies or mac and cheese. And, every single time, after I'm barely able to make a dent in it but still so full that I'm about to burst through my clothes like the Incredible Hulk, I am relieved that I "passed" on dessert.
