Well, in my experience with the dining hall, you are only allowed to take one piece of fruit.  One piece of visible fruit that is.  So put the plum in your pocket, and carry out the banana, and there, you have both.

Yes, yes, I'm weird.  But the question is, did you just figure that out, or have you known all along?  :wink:

The way I saw it was that it says you can have one from the fruit box, however it didn't say you chose the plum from the fruit box, you could've taken it from a dumpster for all I know, thus allowing you to have something also from the fruitbox, as well as the dumpster........or something
