His Doughnut
FOUND by Cassie Mayo
in Edinburgh, Scotland
I found this in a restaurant in Edinburgh around two years ago. The restaurant has mismatched tables and chairs: our table that evening had a drawer in the side of it, like an old-fashioned kitchen table, and this note was in the drawer along with a folder of stuff that seemed to have belonged to a primary school teacher, and a musical birthday card. I keep the note pinned to a board in my office.

We collect FOUND stuff: love letters, birthday cards, kids' homework,
to-do lists, ticket stubs, poetry on napkins, telephone bills, doodles -
anything that gives a glimpse into someone
else's life. Anything goes...
Heh, I have this as the wallpaper on my computer...
This sounds like the sort of thing my daughters would say, without thinking of the implications/ connotations until it was already out of their mouths. Then the phrase becomes an inside joke that they write on random scraps of paper, text each other, and insert into conversations accompanied by hysterical bursts of laughter.
This is the best FOUND ever!
"His" is capitalized: I believe someone here is losing faith...
Everything is capitalized.
What restaurant was this?
(It sounds awesome, and unlike every other one here!)
This is exactly something me and my sister would laugh alot about.
NOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I tell you, if my donught had run out of jam, I'd be laying the smack down on SOMEONE...
this is funny on so many levels...
Woah.
This is funny so many ways.
I totally found a sexual innuendo in it.
Right, that's it.
That's my new phrase.
Story of my life.
I think this is a very sexually charged note.
In my opinion.
if somebody had simply made the effort to put in the right amount of jam, i'm sure the world would be a better place.
sometimes people dont think through the consequences of jam skimping.
As a man in my 30s, I frequently worry about my doughnut running out of jam. I hope no one ever writes a truthful note like this about me.
This sounds like something I would say about a cop who was acting just a little too grumpy.
"What the hell is wrong with that guy?"
"His doughnut has run out of jam!"
My doughnut has run out of jam, too. :(
I can't have my cake AND eat it too, I guess.
Eggs--As a woman in her 20's, let me reassure you that it has less to do with the amount of jam in your doughnut and more with how willing you are to cook your companion whatever he or she wants for breakfast.
Mine too!
It gets funnier each time I see it.
Sounds like the end of the road for someone's relationship...or a commentary on that "wonderful" new job that wasn't. "His doughnut has run out of jam" and all he has left is dry, day-old pastry.
This is so funny! I like the indignat (hope it's the right word^^ I'm not a native english speaker) sound of it. But the sexual message that might be hidden there - I crack up! Gonna print it out and put it on my monitor!!! LOL
This reminds me of a picture my friend found when she got some film developed from a World Changers trip. There was a guy there named Nick who was nice, but he was also kinda full of himself. The picture was of my sister hugging a guy from her crew, and Nick was walking in the background, mid step, biting a huge doughnut. It was hilarious.
This note is just awesome on so many levels. I can totally picure running into a crowded store or cafeteria, waving my arms and urgently screaming out its contents at the top of my lungs to everyone's shocked bemusement: "HIS DOUGHNUT HAS RUN OUT OF JAM!!!"
Then I think I'd slowly walk out again as if nothing had happened.
love that image, zero.. that'd be hilarious.
i use this phrase all the time, ever since i first saw it. I particularly like it in the context of a cranky cop, and i know its stereotyping to the max, but its too funny.
to Anne is USA - that photo of Nick, in mid-step, munching the doughnut, does sound like a Kodak moment. THAT image I'd like to see here!
This is so funny to me. I saw it a few weeks ago on here and it's one of those phrases that randomly runs through my head now. I'm sleepy from a long 2 days of work and just got the giggles when I saw it again. Really funny. I want to start using it in daily conversation.
Perhaps a follow-up to the manhands/wedding photo?
i find the funniest part of it all is that it is on a post it..haha
This is one that makes me just want to pack a sharpie wherever I go and write it on random public bathroom walls. I don't know why.
lol, it's like one of those in-joke emails you would get from a friend, that you open after taking a mouthful of coffee and you laugh so hard coffee comes out your nose. Love that.
Btw, was it a French restaurant? You know that chain of french restaurants in the UK where all the furniture is mismatched..very quaint and left-bank.
I love how the comment is made in this tone of like, startling revelation. Like the person writing was reading some food mystery book and just figured out something crucial to the plot.
I too love this every time I see it because it never gets old. It's got an honored position taped to my computer monitor.
Zero, your comment cracked me up, LOL!
I want to see it on yellow T-shirts every where, like the smiley face.
this is just so, SO funny. the comments and everything...(esp. Anne and Zero) are just GREAT. and this is TOTALLY innuendo, though i'm not EXACTLY sure WHAT....i feel naive. i STILL LOVE THIS THOUGH!!!!!!!!
I think the writer is actually making a high reverence reference to 'His Doughnut' - as in 'his majesty' or 'his highness'. Imagine the implications...
