He will probably sue aspirin manufacturers since you have to pick cotton to get to their product.

To: N. Theknow

A number of years ago, when I was about 22 and had my first professional job, I was working at the lab bench next to a black guy. I didn't know him personally at all, but on a professional level we were friendly enough. One day he handed me an asprin bottle and asked me to open it up for him. I was a little surprised, as he was bigger than I am (and I'm 6' 2"). He said something along the lines of "We've picked enough cotton", so I opened it up and took the cotton out for him.

I don't think it was aimed at me - he never put me in any uncomfortable position otherwise.
