Occasionally I will get a mutation, a candy that is misshapen, or pointier,
or flatter than the rest. Almost invariably this proves to be a weakness,
but on very rare occasions it gives the candy extra strength. In this
way,
the species continues to adapt to its environment
Part II
When I reach the end of the pack, I am left with one M&M, the strongest
of
the herd. Since it would make no sense to eat this one as well, I pack
it
neatly in an envelope and send it to M&M Mars, A Division of Mars,
Inc.,
Hackettstown, NJ 07840-1503 U.S.A., along with a 3x5 card reading,
"Please
use this M&M for breeding purposes."
This week they wrote back to thank me, and sent me a coupon for a
free 1/2 pound bag of plain M&Ms. I consider this "grant money."
I have set
aside the weekend for a grand tournament. From a field of hundreds,
we will
discover the True Champion.
