That reminds me of a conversation I had the other day with a co-worker 
which went something like this:  (no names were used to protect the
idiot....I mean innocent)

Co-Worker:  "Which car is yours?"
Me:  "That one" (pointing to the elegant blue A4 in the parking lot).
C:  "What is that, a Volvo?"
M:  (Suddenly deaf in one ear)  "Nooooooooo, it's an Audi."
C:  "That car is a real yuppie-mobile!"
M:  (Now seeing flashing lights and floating spots) "Huh?"
C:  "Yeah, it's a real yuppie-mobile!"
M:  (Too shocked to say anything, but thinking:  if this is hell why
       isn't everything red?)

Moral of the story: When the junkyard dog says "kill", listen to him!
