MY FRIEND AND I had joined a weight-loss organization.
At one meeting the instructor held up an apple and a candy bar.
"What are the attributes of this apple," she asked, "and how
do they relate to our diet?" "Low in calories" and "lots of fiber"
were among the answers.
She then detailed what was wrong with eating candy, and
concluded, "Apples are not only more healthful but also less
expensive. Do you know I paid seventy-five cents for this candy bar?"
We stared as she held aloft the forbidden treat.
From the back of the room a small voice spoke up:
"I'll give you eighty cents for it."
