Well, yellow IS a nice color...


I think she should paint a big yellow hand with the middle finger
sticking up on the front of her house.


I have heard a story of a homeowner in an HOA neighborhood protesting
the home painting regulations by painting the front of the house with the
most-glaring large-polka-dot pattern using the two-most-unlike-eachother
allowable shades of "beige" or "beige-white" or whatever the allowable
color was.
