Pudding

Does this smell OK to you?

What is it? I won’t know if it smells good without a frame of reference. Just take it out of the box.

Can’t. It’d color the data. Just tell me, does it smell OK?

Well, it smells…weird. Like if someone merged chocolate pudding with the air from the inside of a tennis ball.

Cook and serve pudding or instant?

Uh, cook and serve? But why does that matter?

Just gathering data. Do you have any feelings associated with this smell?

Yeah, being fed up with stupid tests. What is in the box, anyways?

You wouldn’t believe me if I told you. You’d probably even hit me.
