His solution was to rip open two 6 bun packages, make a new package of 8, throw the excess buns back onto the display shelf, seal up the newly formed package and try to buy it at a reduced rate. When told this isn&amp;#39;t permissable, he launches into a truly funny tirade about the HDI conspiracy, for which he lands himself in jail. Haven&amp;#39;t a clue how we got on this topic, but I like it.</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">JoeDallas</dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 26 Jan 2009 02:23:38 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Packaging Disparity Between Hot Dogs and Buns - Ask It Basket</title><link>http://randythomas.org/2008/08/30/packaging-disparity-between-hot-dogs-and-buns-ask-it-basket/#comment-5539521</link><description>You really are making sense here.
