Wow.. the Daryl/Darell comment triggered a slew of memories for

We all have our own ways to live and cope.

SO, you left the church property in an ambulance?

I think you shared that story before.   What I don't understand  
is if you left the church in an ambulance, surely the there  
would have been many people who noticed - you know, witnesses.   
And.. during your egress, too bad you didn't delegate the  
coffee/donut/OJ task to someone else - publicly.

In any case, it usually just takes one person to complain that  
they don't have their precious donut.
