That afternoon, he was uneasily
installed behind a tiny, dark-wood desk. That morning, he’d chosen a chimera of
a lime green shirt matched with a black necktie with dirty white stripes...or a
white necktie with faded black stripes. If planned as a weapon to disorient me,
then first blood to him. While he negotiated a small insurance claim with me,
my eyes tried to negotiate a huge, yellow splotch out of his tie. Both
negotiations failed. We agreed to come back another day. I then escaped from this
semi-piebald-semi-skewbald circus.
Hmmmm... I would expect that negotiation to fail (the yellow splotch in his tie).
