Who Doesn't Love Pie?

Look. Far be it from us to tell you how to run your life, but we think it's time you
consider settling down and making a commitment that will last you the rest of your years.
Don't worry—it involves pie...
We're talking about the new
Pie-for-Life Plan, a literally life-altering new program from Royers
Roundtop Café, based in the land of all things gluttonous and wonderful: Texas.
As with any potential lifelong commitment, you shouldn't go into this lightly. So here's what you need to
know: if you sign up, you'll get one pie, delivered directly to your door, once a month, for the rest of
your natural days. It'll come as regularly as the season: in May, there's
Bud's Chocolate Chip
(basically, an enormous cookie with pecans), in November, there's
Dr. Karen's Pumpkin, and in
December…well, that's when the nearly foot-long, four-pound
Sin-Nammon Ring arrives. And
they're all handmade in Texas, by a joint that's been around since 1946. (Should you stop in, note that
they'll charge you
not to have ice cream on your pie.)
Now, in taking on a marriage like this, you should expect some compromise. First of all, there's the entry
fee: $10,000. And depending on your age, it could cost quite a bit more—Royers uses an actuarial chart
to determine how much a lifetime's supply of pie is really worth.
No word on if they factor in actually eating a lifetime's supply of pie.
