You find the much sought-after item in the supermarket.

In a gumball machine.

Not the ones that dispense gumballs, but the ones that have those plastic bubbles with some sort of toy inside?

I will sometimes stop and check these out. Today I did so and found that I had my choice of small plastic gang members (I got a Sharky! No. It's not a dolphin!!) and there was a big machine that dispensed those rubber bracelet things. These weren't made to promote any particular cause ... rather they are encouraging some activity or positive quality. Self-esteem bracelets if you will. What the heck. I threw 50¢ into the machine.

I got "HONOR."

How cool is that?
