I was watching Good Eats with Alton Brown on the Food Network some time back, and he gave some great advice on how to pick a good avocado. Most of us know that if you plan on eating an avocado in a few days, pick a green, firm but not rock hard one. And if you want to eat it in the next 24 hours, go for a soft but not totally mushy one that is more brownish green. But, if you want to be even more sure of your choice and lessen your chance of cutting into a bruised one, pop off the little stem nub. If it's white to light green, go for it. If it's brown or darker, leave it behind. Below is the most perfect avocado I've ever bought. And for a foodie like me, it was like hitting gold!
