Zero Waste

In the coffee break room at the office somebody left a bag of Jelly Beans to share.

Why am I writing this?

I grabbed a few. All were very funny looking candies. Warped, conjoined, pimpled. The strangest looking jelly beans I've ever encountered. I looked at the bag. They are called 'Belly Flops' - by the Jelly Belly company. Everything that didn't meet their rigorous standards for presidential candies. (Some of you may recall that Ronald Reagan kept a bag of Jelly Belly's on his desk to share with visiting heads of state.)

Certainly the game is rigged.

Don't let that stop you; if you don't bet, you can't win.
