Attack of the Karoh Nadroj!!! Beware! BEWARE!!!!

I forgot to mention a very important battle won yesterday. Names have been changed to protect the guilty.

Yesterday late afternoon I went downstairs to speak with someone in registrar’s office. There it was - a box of Krispy Kreme doughnuts staring at me. Now, I have never actually eaten a KKD, but knowing my sweet tooth, I can deduce that I could easily eat 3 of them at least!

Walking back up to my office, taking the stairs rather than the elevator I might add, I was glorying in the fact that I had not eaten a KKD. But I was unaware of a tempter more powerful than the temptation itself – Karoh Nadroj!!! There he was, trying to look like he was doing everyone a favor by carrying the box of KKD and offering (really tempting is a better word) them to everyone in our office area. Before he reached my desk, I said, “No, Karoh Nadroj! I cannot even look lest I give in and eat a KKD!” Just a simple “no” did not suffice! He kept on! He then put the box under my nose. This was his second tactic in his mission to entice me w/ the KKD. First he tried using just sight, but when that failed, he tried using smell. I protested!

“No, Karoh Nadroj! I must not! If I even think about KKDs I will gain 5 pounds!”

He began to taunt my Lean Cuisine French Bread Pepperoni pizza (290 calories, 8g. of fat, & 3g. of fiber). Not only was he tormenting me, but he was then tormenting the innocent food thereupon my desk!

At this point, a co-worker of mine, Nnej Rekab, endeavored to rescue me. But alas! Her efforts came to no avail!

It wasn’t till his blessed wife came, that he retreated, not without further tauntings (I don’t think that’s really a word), however.

I was congratulated by a hearty “Hoora!” by Nnej Rekab!

The moral of this story is, if you see a Karoh Nadroj, just say “no!”
