“A-p-p-l-e-f-r-i-t-t-e-r-o-l-o-g-y.” 

“I'm not sure we have a class for that. I've never heard of that
before.” 

At that point, I knew I have them. “That is what I am interested in and
that is what I want to sign up for how can I go about that?” 

“Sir,” and I could tell this point they were off script, “would you
explain to me what that is? I've never heard that before.” 

“It is the study of Apple fritters and their impact in modern-day
psychosomatic society.” 

Following that, there was a distinctive “click” as the other end of the
phone hung up abruptly. 

After that telephone conversation, I got to thinking about it. That
would be a wonderful course of study. I plan to do some adequate 
research on the subject of which will consist of eating Apple fritters. 
I plan to be an Apple-fritterologist. 

I am sure I will be the first of its kind and I should be planning and
preparing a course of study on this tremendous subject. After all, who 
wouldn't be interested in such a study? 

Since then I have received several other calls asking about my interest
in furthering my education. Now, I am reading from my script and 
confusing the person on the other end of the phone. I cannot wait for 
the next phone call to come in. I am having a wonderful time. For every 
phone call that comes in, I eat two Apple fritters. 

If I never had received any of these phone calls, I never would have
come up with such a wonderful plan. So why should I complain about my 
cell phone ringing out of my shirt pocket? For every frustrating 
experience in life, there is a shiny rainbow littered with Apple 
fritters. 

I was reminded what the old preacher said, “Whatsoever thy hand findeth
to do, do it with thy might; for there is no work, nor device, nor 
knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest” (Ecclesiastes 
9:10). 

One of the joys of life when somebody is frustrating you is to return
the favor.
