While spending a mid morning at the park I noticed a some trash underneath where I was sitting. I reached down to pick up the trash to throw it away in the nearby bin when I noticed the last cracker in the package remained uneaten. There were several ants on the package but only 2 inside and I was able to brush them off. Curious I extracted the last cracker and after a brief examination I began to eat it.

The cracker itself I expected to be somewhat stale but was relieved to find it was fairly fresh. It was most likely discarded the previous day as it wasn't very crisp which I attributed to the morning dew which probably didn't get on the cracker directly but obviously affected the crispness. The cracker was salty which was also expected but I was able to eat it in 3 small bites. Had this been a whole package I most likely would have needed a glass of water. I immediately felt a little shame after having just consumed the last cracker in a discarded package but after having looked around briefly to see no one had been looking I felt a little better. All in all it was a pretty good experience. Not quite as good as breakfast a few weeks back at my moms (which I reviewed) but not all that bad either.

Ronnie P., you are now ready to move up to the next step in opportunistic provisioning--DUMPSTER DIVING! Bet you'll do much better at that pursuit than just randomly stumbling on some pitiful morsel like the cracker you described. Given the tone and content of your prior posts, I have to say that when YOU ate that CRACKER, you were committing an act of cannibalism!
".....discarded cracker...?"

I know you are not serious but your narative reminded me of a story a girl, okay. a date, once told me. She was 15 years old, and to supplement her allowance, she would "baby sit" the eight year old boy next door. This task was made much easier if she took him to a movie at the Tuscumbian. During the course of the movie, she glanced over at her young charge only to notice he literally had a mouth full of gum..."Where did you get the gum Jeff..???"
Thinkin, fearing that it was stolen from the counter in the lobby. Jeff replied, "Under the seat, here you want some...???"

What was the Tuscumbian?


A movie theater, Main St., Tuscumbia, East side of Main, about mid-way of the block between 5th and 6th Streets. Some people apparently thought the bottom of their seat was a good place to dispose of their chewing gum when the were ready to eat pop corn and milk duds.
