I'm sorry I didn't see this earlier.

    A. J. Ayer would probably say that all questions about donuts are meaningless.

    My sister-in-laws' mother's donuts made all others inedible and she died. I don't think I've had once since the last time she made them. Which makes me think of Ecclesiastes. Which was never my favorite book.

    Funny, Ecclesiastes remains one of my favorites. (Go figure)

    Started making donuts myself, and I'm not sure I'm going to bother with the donut store ever again.

    Some of those are hilarious, although the Kierkegaard one is a clunker. The Descartes one is especially funny to me because I use a donut (well, a chalkboard drawing of one) to explain negative space and boundaries to my composition students. I draw a circle, and then a circle inside that one (negative space) and explain that now, the circle is a donut.

    It's basically an exercise in trying to get them to think. I did it once teaching Proust, where I took in hot tea and homemade madelines to the lecture, and passed them out. I like to think that lecture was particularly memorable to them....
