a story about pie

One day last week a group of friends decided to go on a road trip. It was a perfectly gorgeous day and after a short discussion, the ladies decided on a day of antiquing and a stop at a favorite, semi-famous pie shoppe. No big purchases were made during this excursion but it was fun to look around and generally enjoy each other's company. Later, at the pie shoppe the friends who usually pick different selections all seemed dreamy-eyed over the fresh peach pie. They purchased the whole pie and the proprietor/baker told them he would slice it into five giant pieces just for them. Yum, they were so hungry after their afternoon of browsing and antiquing. As each one of the ladies took their their first bite a strange thing happened. They discovered at the same instant that the pie tasted terrible. Instead of the sugary top, the baker had mistakenly used salt. He was so apologetic and replaced the pie with chocolate and coconut cream but each had a salt rim around their mouths that they still tasted on the trip back home.
