Black and white and read all over

Someone was watching as I picked up a copy of an out-of-town newspaper from a stack at Huckleberry’s one afternoon last week.

Monica, a store manager, asked me if the news is better if you select the second copy in the stack, which I had done. I offered some dumb answer and added that I had been pulling out the second copy for decades.

But here’s my question.

Does anyone take the top copy when there are more than one from which to choose?
