"It’s taken me 53 years to make a cookie this crumby.” “You may be asking yourself how it could take 53 years to make a crumby cookie. Well, it took a lot of hard work. After all, Michelangelo didn’t paint the Mona Lisa in a day. And you can quote me on that. Besides, I had other things to do. Like taking out the trash and mowing the lawn. Anyway, it takes time to make a cookie this crumby. You just can’t rush into these things. Oh sure, I could have been in a big . hurry and done it in, say, 25 years or so. But that would have been really pushing it. And I don’t want to try to sell you a cookie that’s not crumby enough. Oh well, when you bite into one of my crumby cookies, and.you realize it’s the best darned cookie you ever put in your mouth, you’ll see it was worth the wait. So, try one of my crumby chocolate chip, oatmeal and raisin, oatmeal chocolate chip or snicker doodle cookies. Or one of my brownies. You can find them at the Galleria at my crumby cart on the main floor or upstairs in my crumby bakery. And they’re available from my crumby cookie jars in stores all over town. Try the crumby cookie it took 53 years to make. And have a crumby day.” Have a Crumby Day. In the Galleria 22
