With all the serious things I could comment on- the agony of the world railing against injustice - the thing on my mind is why do deli counter clerks lie about slicing Boar's Head Ham thin when requested? It's like a point of honor for them to try to get away with slicing cold cuts as thickly as possible so they can get it over with and get rid of you and go on with whatever earthshaking occupation they prefer - like chatting up some cashier.

This is the truth about the human race. We don't really give a damn about genocide in the Sudan, government corruption, or space exploration. We really just want to leap over the deli counter and strangle that lazy, lying bastard clerk.

Thus ends the lesson.
