The Merits of Chocolate

Chocolate...
Imagine getting home from work, utterly exhausted because of a mere five hours of sleep the night before. You get home, gulp down a Royal D and simply want to go to bed. But you have schoolwork. Three quizzes (psychology, spanish, and physics, to be specific) lurk on the horizon of tomorrow. And you aren't even sure what to study for the psych quiz, since you have the wrong textbook. So you go up to your room and haul out your physics book, only to discover that your parakeet has become some sort of recluse who only talks to his mirror. You feel awful. You need chocolate.
And then you remember. Chocolate!
Pulling open a nearby drawer, you find, to your utter and complete delight, a forgotten Mars bar!
Unwrapping it, you bite into the sticky gooey chocolateness of it. Suddenly, you feel less stressed and less tired. Your parakeet smells the chocolate and comes flying over to get some of it (which he can't have, because parakeets can't digest it, alas). And suddenly physics seems so much more interesting.

The moral of the story is, always keep a spare bar of chocolate lying around.
