the tomato route
When confronted with many options, the decision maker takes the path that is the most morally dubious.
Mike had to choose between his conscience and satisfying the most immediate of his desires. Should he have slept with Brenda Doherty or saved his son Tommy who was in the middle of an allergic reaction from eating peanuts. Through deep soul searching Mike ended up taking The Tomato Route. He'll be giving a heartfelt eulogy for Tommy this Saturday at Our Lady of the Holy Rosary under the auspices of father Frank Doherty.
