    Perhaps She who has No Name should have a talk with the Bunny and find out where all those funny egg's including CHOCOLATE came from??

    See, Hen, here's the deal: Chocolate has a chemical in it that promotes feelings of happiness and well-being in humans. It also makes humans more interested in s-e-x. I know, I know. But it's a lot more fun for humans than it is for fowl. Really. But it's ok, we don't get a whole clutch of fertilized eggs to have to fuss over, so it really is ok.

    So don't get your feathers ruffled. I'm sure things will run smoothly in the house, just as usual.

    Dear Red,

    I too did not truly understand the mania these humans have for chocolate until quite recently. Truly it is a remarkable substance and worth the time to research its many properties.

    First and foremost, it just tastes good. This factor should not be under estimated. Humans are naturally atracted to things that taste good and, quite frankly I appreciated that too. Grain is good, but it is scratchy and definately lacks flavor.

    Second, chocolate does appear to have properties that make humans calm. I have been told it can act as a mood elevator. Considering the mood of some people, any elevator that takes them up a floor or two is probably a good thing.

    In my own experience I can tell you that it can be both dangerous and sustaining depending on how you use it. Keeping too much on hand at any given time can get you into trouble especially if you don't have a sense of discipline, but, as I experienced just today, chocolate can be a life saver.

    I had to sit in a meeting all afternoon and had not had time for lunch. I was starting to feel quite woozy when someone discoverd chocolate on the secretary's desk. Well, I'm here to tell you, those little chocolate morsels gave me the energy to continue and saved the day.

    After careful observation, consideration and a few tests of my own, I have concluded that it is one of HIS greatest inventions and I praise HIM for it.

    I hope this helps.

    Your friend,
    Quilty

    Allow me to give an example as well... yesterday afternoon some wise guy decided to shoot laser beams into my EYE just because he could. No other reason, I'm sure of it. Well, as you can imagine, I was quite distressed and all I could think about was how to make myself feel better. I settled on chocolate in the form of a pint of Ben & Jerry's Peanut Butter Cup ice cream. I really wanted some Mint Oreo Cookie but they don't make that any more. So you can see, even in times of drama (heh), humans look (when they can after a laser beam blasting at them) to chocolate to sooth their nerves. Try it sometime, it might work for you, too.
