mother and daughter, daughter buying a tall stack of Louis L'Amour westerns.
me:  would you like a bag?
daughter: Yeah.
mom:  why don't you just put them in your bag?
daughter, exasperated: because I want another bag to put in my bag!
I should compile an oral history of the question would you like a bag?

I would like a bag.
A bag to put in the bag I want to put in the bag I already have.
A Bag Bag Bag.
Because the bag is not a bag.
It is a holder. In this case, of
Other bags.
You should think about this bag
until you understand why it is
that holding
other bags in other bags
is the best way to live.
Paper of plastic?
At the risk of losing some of the grist for your blogmill, I suggest signage:
"If you want a bag, just ask."
