Coworker: Terry, was there something wrong with that cake?
Me: What do you mean by wrong?
Coworker: Was it what you had planned going into it?
Me: No, not by any means. Â What made you think that?
Coworker: Well, the chocolate later over the graham cracker came out of nowhere and the cake bits were too square. Â You usually don’t go for presentation so we though maybe you dropped it and made that instead.
Me: Nah, it just cooked oddly so I had to cut it up ahead of time and find something to do with it.
Coworker: And you probably just had some strawberries lying around? Â They seemed pretty sweet and that’s a sign that they’re near the end of their life.
Me: That’s pretty astute. Â Any thoughts?
Coworker: Ditch the dark chocolate, otherwise everyone in marketing likes what we’ve dubbed your MacGuyver cake.
