I was at work the other night.
When I am at work, I find it necessary to ask people whether or not they have a pink coupon in their posession.
When I do this, I say the following sentence:
"Do you have the pink coupon with you?"
Last night, this was the response I received:
"This blue one?"
THE BLUE ONE?!? ARE YOU STUPID???
Yes, sir, the blue one. Do you have the BLUE PINK COUPON with you?
I can understand if people are not aware that they are holding a coupon. Coupons are often different in appearance and design. But pink??? There is one color on this planet that is known as pink. There is no other color that is called pink, and if there was, it certainly wouldn't be blue, it would be magenta. Or light red.
You know, the shade my face turns when I hear "This blue one?"
