Not To Tread On One’s Corns, But You’re Wrong
Customer: “Your corn has gone bad!”
Me: “That’s blue corn, sir.”
Customer: “I don’t care what color it’s turning; it’s turning bad!”
Me: “No, I mean it’s meant to be that color, sir. Blue is the natural color, along with some shades of red. It’s not bad, that’s how it’s meant to look.”
Customer: “So… it’s been genetically modified?!”
Me: “No, sir, in fact, this selection is the most organic corn we sell.”
Customer: “Ah… artificial coloring then.”
Me: “No, it’s totally—”
Customer: *Walking away, apparently talking to me but mostly talking to himself.* “—you should really put labels on the food you’ve added artificial colors too.”
He walks away, seemingly satisfied, in his own little world.
