First-World Predicaments
So, I’m reclining in a chair at the bedside of an old man, asleep, in a nursing home. Life is easy when the senile sleep.
On the other side of my chair is a coffee table with a single item, taunting me: a container of delicious cookies.
The catch is that it’s one of those clear plastic snap containers they sell in the bakeries of supermarkets. If I try to open it, the loud snapping will undoubtedly wake my slumbering charge.
Diabolical!
What are some first-world problems you have encountered lately?

Some people have ebola, and some people have been overrun by ISIS, and some are worried that the Russians are about to invade, but John Kerry and I are horrified by the thought that in 100 years the world will probably be a degree warmer than it is now.
