Butter.

I can name a man's poison at fifty paces. I take one look at this guy as he walks in and say to myself, "Butter."

Wow, I remember reading this back in '78 when it was published. It was in one of the monthly SF magazines, if I recall correctly.

I, for one, eagerly await new products such as 'MapL Syrup', 'Maepl Syrup', 'Ample Syrup' and everyone's favorite 'Not Maple Syrup'

I don't understand why we have categories of crimes anyway. It reminds me of the Catholic church's idea of "mortal sin" versus the regular kind. I just think it's stupid. I don't think there should be a rigid category of felony and non-felony. At least unless someone can enlighten me on the history of or utility of the thing.

You used to could make some sweet profits selling fake maple syrup to saps who didn't know better, but I guess now it's time to turn over a new leaf.

Now that would just lead to a sticky situation.
