"It is very mediocre ham, but it was an incredibly good deal."
A temptation that is too seldom encountered. I'm picturing you scouring the classified ads when you come across an 8pt two line ad "Ham, in bulk, must sell. Reasonable offers." You picked up the ham from a thin old man with a pot belly who wore a dirty singlet and had a permanent cigarette in his mouth. He delivered it in a Styrofoam box (he kept the box).
Don't think I didn't see you deleting your story about me purchasing mediocre ham.
I will never take offense to anything, except for you not writing the story I know dwells deep in your heart.
You should write a short story about me buying ham.
