Outside the Box

Brought to you by Magic, who can make boxes disappear.

“So imagine you’re sitting in a restaurant,” he says, “and the waiter asks if you’d like a box for your leftovers. What if one day you looked up at him and replied, ‘No, I’d like a mug.’?”

What if, indeed? And what if they were out of mugs? Then you’d have to ask for a basket. Or a pocketbook. Or an ice cube tray. Or a flower pot. Or a mason jar. Or a holster. Or a quiver. Or a colander. Or a sippy cup. Or a vase. Or a folder. Or a pressurized canister. Or a mesh laundry bag. Or an Erlenmeyer flask. Or an urn. Or an ewer. Or a briefcase. Or an old oaken bucket. Or a hollowed-out gourd. Or a tanned buffalo bladder. Or just stuff it into my pelican-like lower lip, and I'll be on my merry way.

Yep, I’ve been going out to eat too often lately.
