   SO, you left the church property in an ambulance?

   I think you shared that story before.   What I don't understand     
   is if you left the church in an ambulance, surely the there     
   would have been many people who noticed - you know, witnesses.      
   And.. during your egress, too bad you didn't delegate the     
   coffee/donut/OJ task to someone else - publicly.   
      
   In any case, it usually just takes one person to complain that     
   they don't have their precious donut.
