Government's pies sink ships? Really?? Are they that tasty that the sailors simply can't resist and get so fat that the ship can no longer support them???

Couldn't make these things up
Government spies off on another ship sinking mission.
BTW, how many ships have the Lipless sunk?

AFAF.
Oh? With me they never stop flapping their gums.
I blame Lipless people that steal.

Unfortunately, I've never had any luck getting a confession out of them.
I blame Lipless people. Still.

Someone who is a donut aficionado may have the answer to this.

DD? Anyone ? ( DD???? )
A lot of these companies shave corners for profitability.
They may have started using different mix, glaze and fillings, or different "donut fry shortening".

Or it could be poorly trained people.

Because metal conducts heat and you'd burn your lips...?
Ahhh! I rarely use mine for hot bev. It gets a lot of use for cold drinks in hot weather.
