You ain't kiddin', Sista! Even the worst of my Advertising days was a cakewalk to that!

...hmm... I never thought about that phrase before...What exactly is a cake walk, what was the point of walking on cake, and why was it so easy? Seems like a shameful waste of cake.

I thought it was the cake that walked - and maybe power walked - to get away from all the nasty predatory human cake eating monsters. Ever have cake that disappeared? You thought there was a slice leftover... but you go to look and no cake!! Bet that's what happened. The cake walked off.

The parable of these stories in relation to present realities is as clear as glass. Great post.

Thanks Adetokunbo! I've always believed that if more people had lousy jobs in their youth they'd have a much better appreciation for Earth and the impoverished struggle of most people on it.

"Avoid using the word "Pit" when naming any food establishment." Some people didn't get the memo: my hometown has a place called the Pita Pit, but it seems to be a more stable and sanitary business than that restaurant.

(P.S. Thank you for letting me know of the existence of "Freaky". The Bystander I know about because I subscribe to their newsletter.)

You're welcome. BTW I think Andy Goldfarb would enjoy your writing. He's always open to new wacky ideas for content.
