Simpsons Thought for the Day

Given Mr Burns' legendary tight fist, isn't it strange that the Springfield Nuclear Power Plant workers get doughnuts provided for them? Maybe he owns the doughnut business too. Then he'd be getting the doughnuts at discount and (perhaps) writing them off as a tax deduction at full price.

PS - He's diabolical.
PPS - And sometimes also ineffectual.

Maybe the workers all chip in money for donuts.

Or maybe it comes out of their pay.

Could be. Though I remember other times when Mr Burns has cancelled employee benefits (such as the dental plan) to save his own money. Doughnuts might be different. I don't know.
