A Sign of Mystery
Yesterday I went to a different branch of Nice Clean Yuppie Gym than the one I usually go to. They had a sample of a t-shirt they're selling hanging up on the wall. It was actually quite a nice t-shirt except for one thing: the sign hanging next to it announced that its color was "dingle-berry blue."
Was this a joke perpetrated on one of the, er, slower members of the staff at Nice Clean Yuppie Gym? Did some poor dim musclehead, as he was tacking the shirt up on the wall, call over his shoulder to his sniggering coworkers, "Hey, what kind of berries are blue?" Since this sign is hanging directly across from the desk where everyone must check in before working out, is the fact that the sign is still there mean that there's a vast conspiracy against this one hypothetical dimbulb or that no one there knows what a dingleberry is?
There is so much mystery in life just there for the taking.
