Only by saying you're not crazy... I remember reading that story in
English class in the mid-to-late 80's ... man it was god awful... the
drivel that passes for "art" in an english class has always amazed me.
Poe and Doyle were at least half-way decent, but it's all the one-off
stuff and I have to wonder where in the world they get it. The pepper
contest was right along side another short story in which the _EPIC_
plot point was that some folks in a diner were snickering at the cook
for using a slang term for mayonaise. In our case they were both in an
actual textbook. It was an anthology story book, but it was a big
hard-backed volume, intentionally marketed as a high-school English
text. Don't remember the name of it tho...
