Yeah, I don't know, Joe.  When I first read the article, I don't think my 
mind could comprehend the number, so I saw "20 doughnuts" and thought 
"that wouldn't be enough" you know, for the team, the coaching staff, the 
trainers, etc, to all have one.  I think even pro athletes can have a 
doughnut every now and then.  But 240 of them?  Who's the starting center,
  Homer Simpson?  Geez Louise, if there's 50 people travelling with the 
team (and there aren't that many, right?) that's about 5 each.  Have mercy.
   Why not just have a meal of lard and a fifth of Scotch?
