I was in a grocery store a couple years ago and saw bundles of asparagus
for a set price.|It was the first and only time I saw asparagus sold by
the package not by the pound. I happened to spot someone taking spears
out of one bundle and slip them into another one. It happened to be a
woman. She happened to appear to be Filipino. I don't know if her being
a woman or Filipino is relevant. She just was.
