Opus 2024-278: Twisted

I discovered there is a conspiracy going on in the bread business.  You are aware, if you know which side of the bread the butter goes on, of the twist ties that are sometimes on a loaf of bread. I’m sure you’ve noticed, or you should have, that sometimes the twist goes to the right, and sometimes it goes to the left.  For those of us who wear glasses, it is often a challenge to look at it and figure out which way we turn to open it.

I think it’s a conspiracy, a conspiracy to make us old people feel inadequate.  Perhaps we could mount a class action suit.  Perhaps we could boycott the bread industry.  Perhaps we could just shut up and get on with life.  We might ask our grandchildren to open the bread for us the first time and then we can close it the way we like.  There are many solutions.

I hope the problems your face today or no bigger than this.
