There was a sale on eggs the other day. There were two cartons left. Each carton had one broken egg in it

Hey do you also take one grape from the bag to taste it and make sure they're okay? Because I do that.

No, I'm not a goddamn hippie like some people.

don't deny your desires... come to the dark side...

i've never done that but perhaps i should start.
i once bought a bag of the red grapes & didn't wash them for two days after getting them home.
when i did put them in a bowl to wash them off, the bottom 1/2 to 2/3 was covered in some type of cobwebby-mold.
ew.
if i had just opened the bag, maybe i would've noticed that?

I dunno, my mom always taught me to do that, which is strange, because she would never consider biting into an apple or peeling a banana to make sure they're ripe. Apparently only small fruits are acceptable. I'm pretty sure it's known as "petty fruit fondling" in the lawbooks.

[tilga]

that sounds nasty.
i'm certain it's punishable by death in some parts of the country, depending on the fruit.

of course, washington with it's apples would hang you and florida - with it's oranges - would electrocute you.
