Yeah, that is weird that you remember that...
I still can't figure out the hubbub over that one -- the packs are all
random colors anyway, and I am not damaging or stealing anything.
Everything remains in perfectly sellable condition and none would be the
wiser as to what I had done even if they looked for it. All the other
buyers still get the colors and numbers of underwear they see in the
package, just like me -- I just like all black or charcoal.
And I am not above switching out a bad tomato or two from those plastic six
packs of tomatoes in the produce aisles either. I guess some people would
assert that I am supposed to accept the bad tomatoes in the package as part
of the intended package for sale -- that's the deal, take it or leave it.
I guess I am just a jerk that way...and some people need lithium to smooth
out the rough patches in their self-denigrating ethical systems. Me, I just
want a good deal.
