Absolute heresy, I say.


Ok, so I'm anal.


I go camping, and stop at the supermarket for food. I want some salt
and pepper. They want to gouge me big time. The little "camping" S&P
sets are major money for very little. Individual salt and pepper are
way too big, and too much money. But I just can't handle it. A pound
of salt is like 10% of the price for a little cardboard salt shaker, so
I buy it. It doesn't have a shaker thing, but I just open the spout,
pour some into the palm of my hand, grab a pinch, dump it in and throw
the rest on the ground. The pepper is painful, but lo and behold, they
have a complete pepper grinder for not much more. It's plastic, and
doesn't look to be refillable, but what the heck. So, I'm a happy
camper.
