A couple weeks ago, my uncle told me he didn't really like the Gala apples I'd purchased. I made a point of finding other varieties, I think we were on Granny Smiths this week. When I was asking everyone if they had grocery requests, he told me he really didn't want anymore Granny Smiths, that the last Gala he had was quite good.
????????
I said, "Hold on. Didn't you tell me a couple weeks ago you DIDN'T like Galas?"
He said, "Well, yes, but that was just one apple. I had another, and I liked it a lot."
"Ok, so you were willing to not eat Galas for the foreseeable future, except for the fact that I bought some anyway for the rest of us, based on ONE bad apple."
Without skipping a beat, he said "yeah, it's what we conservatives do, condemn a whole type based on one bad sample."
It's good to know that if I have to live with even more conservatives now, they're willing to joke about it.
