There was chocolate frosting and cream filling everywhere, on the arm, on the tool chest, and for some reason, there was a huge amount on a can of WD 40. Everyone stared in shock for a moment, wondering if he was hurt, while he just stared at his hand. "My doughnut!" was all he could manage to say, and everyone just burst out laughing.

Well, if it was your breakfast, that had just been ripped out of your hands, you'de be a little upset too. I mean, so I was bleeding on my right arm, all I really cared about that early in the morning was my doughnut, which was freshly baked I might add. mmmm doughnut.
