A man visits his aunt in the nursing home. It turns out that she is taking a nap, so he just sits down in a chair in her room, flips through a few magazines, and munches on some peanuts sitting in a bowl on the table.
Eventually, the aunt wakes up, and her nephew realizes he’s absentmindedly finished the entire bowl. «I’m so sorry, auntie, I’ve eaten all of your peanuts!»
«That’s okay, dearie,» the aunt replied. «After I’ve sucked the chocolate off, I don’t care for them anyway.»
