Have you heard…
…about The Pecan Pandemonium?
It began with the promise of a perfectly civilised breakfast.
A generous bowl of golden sourdough granola sat at the centre of the table, fragrant with warm cinnamon, laden with buttery toasted pecans and scattered with crisp coconut.
There was, by all accounts, plenty for everyone.
The first disagreement concerned the pecans.
One member was observed selecting rather more than could reasonably have arrived in his bowl by chance. Another objected. A third quietly helped himself while everyone else was distracted.
Matters deteriorated rather quickly.
Spoons crossed. Bowls were repositioned. Someone was caught concealing a particularly impressive cluster beneath a folded napkin.
By the time the last pecan had been claimed, there was cinnamon on the tablecloth, coconut on the floor and very little dignity remaining anywhere.
The incident became known, inevitably, as The Pecan Pandemonium.
The Society has since taken precautions.
Larger bowls are now used.
They have not helped.
