GREEN BANANAS

As I was in the Pet Supplies Emporium purchasing the giant Economy Size sack of cat food for Hakuna, it occurred to me that buying that humongous sack for a seventeen-year-old cat is a little like a centenarian buying green bananas: It implies a certain (possibly unjustified) confidence in the future.

Sometimes the smaller bag is the way to go. It does not carry so much of the stink of hubris.
