Keith asks if anyone wants his cinnamon stick. No one answers. You raise your hand and get the stick. Take a gentle bite. Chew slowly. Don't make eye contact. Halfway done, you offer the group another chance at the stick, but use a tone that indicates you really want the whole thing.
Make certain they realize that by their inaction they have lost a delicious nutritional experience. Do not offer them your half finished multigrain muffin. That is insulting, as though they were pigeons hunting for scraps. Do, however, cough on your stick to insure you own it.
Your breakfast group already is disgusted with themselves for not being pro active. Do not rub it in. Clean up all your crumbs, smiling just a bit. Pat someone on the back and assure them it was good seeing everyone.
Leave before Keith remembers you owe him twenty bucks.
