Food Peeve?

[RICHARD]

I knew that my not eating the handful of peas on my plate would not, in any way be able to help or hurt a starving child in another country - by the time I got them packed and shipped and they got there, they'd have gone bad anyway..

When you have to send peas
To the kids overseas?
That's logistics!

When they don't go on time,
They may go to the swine-
That's LOGISTICS!

I like that commercial. The first couple of times I hear it I thought
they were saying "that's Poughkeepsie"

The commercial that aggravates me is in supermarket.
A young boy (old enough to know better) charges around the supermarket and opens the dispenser of coffee beans. His mother finds the 'scamp' standing in a mound of coffee beans on the floor. She rushes toward him and 'brushes' him off in an 'are you o.k.? manner, gives him a pat on the head, and they walk away.

If the little 'scamp' were me- I would have gotten smacked. (sorry that was the reality in the 60's- not that I condone that nowadays)

If I were the mother- I would have 'marched' the boy to the manager, told him to apologize, ask the manager for a broom, so the 'scamp' could clean the mess, and then ask the manager to weigh the product so the little 'urchin' could pay for it!
