The story is told of the preacher who was visiting an elderly widow. During the visit she was called away for one reason or another and he was left in the room alone. After a few minutes a bowl of peanuts drew his attention and eventually he ate one, then a handful, and before she returned had finished the whole bowl. He felt a bit guilty about it and was compelled by his conscience to confess it to her when she returned. He told her what he had done and apologized and offered to buy her more peanuts. She just laughed and said, "Don't worry, sonny, I don't need any peanuts. Those were some left from my last bag of M&M's I can't eat the nuts so I just suck the chocolate off and spit the peanuts in a bowl to throw away."
Bet he learned to leave things that weren't his alone.
