   All of this is beyond me but this one tiny piece does give me   
   something I can relate to.   
      
   A few years back a few coworkers and I were heading to our   
   next assigment. We were a bit off-course as I'm not much of a   
   Deliverator and were in danger of showing up late. Someone   
   suggested that I cut through the Fiesta parking lot. Fiesta is a   
   grocery store chain whose logo is a big parrot. "Head for the   
   parrot!" I cut through the lot and finally start heading the right   
   way. Sam, who is color-blind, continued to stare back at the   
   logo: "That's a parrot?! I've always thought it was a chicken."   
      
   It was funny, but I realize now that I can't convey the   
   sense of amusement we felt. ;-0
