In all honestly, we're going to have to back Larry David on the latest 'Curb Your Enthusiasm' (Sun., 10PM ET on HBO). Of course, social etiquette probably says that when the woman started screaming and reaching for the cake, you let her have the cake.

But she did tell him to not let her have any, "no matter what." She'd just lost 60 lbs on a diet, and it wasn't even a passing conversation when she made Larry her "dessert referee." There were several exchanges, leading him to believe she was serious.

Maybe dessert is a particular weakness of hers, so Larry was more than happy to play the bad guy and not allow her to have a piece of cake. In fact, we'd argue that it did seem to be a weakness, and she had very little control over her impulses. Who fights that violently for a piece of cake?
