I'm distracted with chores this weekend so I outsource to Randy Cohen, the New York Times Sunday ethicist, who at last considers a really interesting question: if you eat the $6 Oreos out of the hotel minibar, can you cover yourself by replacing it with a an identical pack bought at the corner liquor store fast food mart for $2.50?

Mr. Ethics says no. Mr. Underbelly says--hey, why didn't I ever think of that?
