Don't Mess With the Muffin Man

I almost lost it at the Giant Eagle this morning. I decided to give them another chance despite the fact that they have downsized their muffin selection. So I go up to the bakery and was again disappointed that they didn't have any of their scrumptious raisin bran muffins. However, they did have some decent looking "good morning" muffins so I picked up one of those and went to get a cup of coffee and then pay for my breakfast at the coffee shop. Lo and behold, they had a solitary raisin bran muffin in a tray right next to the cash register. So I asked if I could exchange my crappy "good morning" muffin for their delicious raisin bran muffin and I was refused, since I had already touched the aforementioned "good morning" muffin. Yes, as my leprous, plague-riddled hands had touched their precious muffin, it was no longer fit for human consumption by anyone other than yours truly.

I was so pissed off that I really wanted to throw that muffin right in the checkout person's face. However, I resisted that temptation for fear of the headline I was visualizing in next day's newspaper - "Deranged Man Arrested for Assault With a Deadly Muffin".
