A woman in a diet club was lamenting that she had gained
weight.
She'd made her family's favorite cake over the weekend, she
reported, and they'd eaten half of it at dinner. The next day, she
said, she kept staring at the other half, until finally she cut a
thin slice for herself. One slice led to another, and soon the
whole cake was gone.
The woman went on to tell us how upset she was with her lack of
willpower, and how she knew her husband would be
disappointed.
Everyone commiserated; until someone asked what her husband said
when he found out.
She smiled. "He never found out. I made another cake and ate
half!"
