A COMPELLING QUESTION

 Sometimes we confront the difficult questions of the day. We are known for our willingness to address the hard questions. By holding up a mirror, we force a discussion of topics others avoid. Sometimes it's hard. If this is not for you dear reader, we apologize in advance. Perhaps today is the day you quickly click to Mr. Markus's blog for a scintillating discussion of a footnote in an eleventh circuit opinion. It's okay with us. You can always check back tomorrow. 

Here it is. 

Major League Baseball players were asked this question: "If you could only have one condiment for the rest of your life, what would it be?" 

Here are some of the answers. 

Shohei Otani: Mayo; Mookie Betts: BBQ sauce (mustard and ketchup don't travel well); Hunter Greene: Blue Cheese;  Josh Jung: Jalapeno Ranch; Aaron Judge: In-n-Out secret sauce;  Bubba Chandler and James Tallion answered Cholula, a condiment we are not familiar with. Alex Bregman: mustard; and several players picked ketchup. 

Maybe the best answer came from Cam Schlittler, whose answer reminded us of what we are sure many of our robed readers would say: Antarctica!  Cam is now our guy. 

Is Russian dressing or Thousand Island a condiment? Because remember, you're not putting ketchup or mustard on a salad or baked potato. It's a deep question, worthy of the best legal minds of the REGJB. If you Google the matter you will see Reddit (Motto: "Yet another social media type site Rumpole avoids"...ok, that's not really a motto, but still...)  threads devoted to in depth discussions of the issue. 

It's a beautiful spring weekend. Put down that depo transcript and go outside for a bit.
