The setup:
We are giving away our old ibm p70 crt monitors. They are OLD. They are beige. They are ugly. But hey, they are also free, so 400 people signed up to receive one. Here's a correspondence between me and an interested, yet delusional customer:

We like to call it a “Wish Black”. It looks beige to all non-believers, but those who have vivid imaginations view it as black.

And I see Annie at the window, spray can in hand, spraying it as he drives up.

Remember the crayon quiz? I wrote some new ones. May I suggest Midwest Winter Slush?

Or, Moronic Breeder Mole Black?

You have an unimaginably deep well of patience.

That wasn't funny, it was scary to think that is the sort of folk you have to work with! Ai!
