Are there any objects that are not donuts, but in certain circumstances, behave like a donut

How exactly does a donut behave? I thought it was a rather inanimate object with no behavior at all (though they do taste good). :confused:
 
Behave like a donut? I wasn't aware that donuts behaved in any particular way since they are inanimate objects.

Did you mean to post this in the stupid quetions thread?

Typical aspects of the behaviour of a donut are to be:

- Empty in the middle
- Covered in cream
- Make people overweight
- A police officer's best friend

What over objects characterise these traits?
 
Not even all donuts have all those traits.

Q: What's green and hangs on the wall?
A: I don't know.
Q: A red herring.
A: But a red herring isn't green.
Q: So paint it green.
A: But it doesn't hang on the wall.
Q: So hang it on the wall.
 
Bagel with cream cheese, perhaps.

Is there any actual point to this thread? Or is this just some totally random question?
 
A policeman's hollow birthday cream cake.

The best phrase in the "Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy" is "So long, and thanks for all the fish", the basis of our fish initiation.

A coffee cup, being a different shaped donut, is a donut behaving differently.

Good answer Integral. BTW, what's your favorite fish? :devil: I don't believe that you've ever been initiated properly.
