Boova's social question: sale ethics, future hot dogs, and cologne
- Is it a schmuck move to buy up far more than average of a sale item?
Boova poses his social question: if an item is on sale and you buy far more than the average person, are you a schmuck? The test case is his own: four $1 hot dogs at the Hy-Vee Fast and Fresh, two eaten fresh and two eaten two hours later as “future hot dogs.” The room debates doorbuster vs consumable ethics, hears about his planned memoirs “table for one, please” (chapter 14: future hot dog) and his habit of rescuing roller dogs headed for the trash into Ziploc bags, then gets the second story — a gas-station attendant telling him “you smell nice” and a whole conversation comparing Bourbon and Ocean scents. A tangent on wives asking husbands about other men's pants and a rant about big men who dress badly round out the segment.
