Low in Calories

My friends and I had joined a weight-loss organization. At one

meeting the instructor held up an apple and a candy bar. “What

are the attributes of this apple,” she asked, “and how do they

relate to our diet?” “Low in calories” and “lots of fiber” were

among the answers.

She then detailed what was wrong with eating candy, and

concluded, “Apples are not only more healthful but also less

expensive. Do you know I paid seventy-five cents for this

candy bar?” We stared as she held aloft the forbidden treat.

From the back of the room a small voice spoke up: “I’ll give

you a dollar for it.”
