Apparently, it doesn't take much to flummox Brian Williams. He wrapped up Monday's NBC Nightly News with a whole story devoted to a “paralyzing question” which “can make otherwise competent adults quake with fear.” The dilemma? “Paper or plastic” at the grocery store.

If it’s cold, plastic. If it’s not, paper. What’s hard about that?
If that was all I had to worry about, my life would be amazingly good.
Not a lot of lead in his pencil.
I heard that too, normally I don’t watch MSM but did last night just for fun. I could not believe his take on that also “paralyzing”!!!. My only question about paper or plastic is - do we have enough paper bags at home for hubby to make popcorn in. If we do then I get plastic.
I can’t remember the last time I was asked this question. They always give me plastic.
Just have them put the paper bag inside the plastic - then you get the best of both

Don’t fret Brian plastic grocery bags recycle ...
A couple of years a car company had an ad featuring this conundrum. The clerk asks “paper or plastic?” over and over again as the paralyzed shopper hopelessly thrashes between images of clear-cut forests, oil-soaked birds, muddy runnoff, landfill barges, etc. The tagline for the commercial was something like “some decisions are hard, some are easy: like the 30-MPG Toyota Whatever...”
LOL!!
When the check out clerk asks “paper or plastic” …
Do you ask, what percent is the paper post-consumer recycled?
Do you ask, is the plastic bio-degradable?
Do you say, Neither, I have my own reusable hemp grocery bags.
Or, do you pull out your credit card and say, “I pay with plastic.”
We have a dog...it’s always plastic.
It easy, bread and eggs in paper. The rest in plastic.
They have counseling for this sort of thing, Brian.
Does Brian Williams put on white eye makeup under his eyes?
He looks weird
Is it any wonder Jihadists consider the US soft?
When I learned most of the city of Boston was built on fill, it changed my view of trash. Now I ask for plastic with no guilt whatsoever.
You are doing your part for the foundations of a fine city! Keep up the good work.
