​A customer walked into a bakery.


They wanted a bread to serve before a dinner party later on in the evening

Seeing many different kinds of breads, pastries, and other baked goods, they were hesitant to choose. After a little time, the asked the proprietor for advice.

“What would you suggest to serve at dinner?”

“Anything. Everything that we sell here is good eating.”

“Really? That hardly helps me...I guess I will just take a baguette.”

“Are you sure that is what you want?”

“Well no, I am not sure since you didn’t give me a suggestion.”

“Everything we sell here is good eating,

...make sure what you want is truly what you desire.”
