"Time to make the donuts" revisited

For the benefit of my 'younger' readers who don't know what I mean when I say the phrase "time to make the donuts", I've finally found something to help me explain. Fred the Baker was the dedicated Dunkin' Donut employee, who woke up in the wee hours to 'make the donuts'. Based on my recollection of the commercials, my insight into this man's life was, "I owe, so it's off to work I go", and he lived to delve back into the monotony of his profession on a regular basis.

I went searching on YouTube, and found this old commercial:

Dunkin' Donuts actually retired this catchphrase when the actor who made the line famous passed away. How is that for commendation!

I'll dedicate this post to "Fred the baker", and any time you hear me say the phrase, "time to make the donuts", you'll now understand. Sometimes we work because we have to, not for the sheer pleasure that it brings, unfortunately.

Suddenly I'm craving a honey-glazed.

Damnit.
