Thanks ^_^. I don't get to revel in religious metaphor all that often, since it wouldn't fit in most fandoms, but the English major in me loves it.
Foggy probably thought he was helping, by bringing temptation into the office for Matt to resist.
I'm sure that's the excuse he offered the first time Matt whined about it. "I'm doing you a favor, Matt. It's not really 'giving something up' unless you actually have the chance to turn it down."
"Next year I'm giving up you for Lent."
The dining hall at my college served barbecue, Italian sausage, or some other form of red meat every single Friday in Lent for four years. It was invariably the best meat they had served all week, too.
