The lose/ win doughnut

K: I meet with dead horse but we only get together for 45 minutes.

Usually it is 2 hours with dead horse.
You know, this is lose/ lose situation.
E: Suit yourself.
K: So what would 45 minutes look like.
E: 45 minutes would be a very heavy coat in the summertime.
K: Ok, then 2 hours would be woolen swimsuit.
E: Yikes.
K: Please. Thank you. Make this metaphor food related.
E: Ok. 45 minutes is doughnut with big hole in the middle.
K: Ah, there you go:
2 hours is same doughnut,
but at least there is a nice crust.
Maybe even frosting.
E: And hole in the middle.

E: Did you bring your dead horse to new therapist?
K: Not yet, but I am planning on it.

"Dead horses welcome all the time."

She lie down.
