Running in Reverse

摘要

Ijust happened to be at the counter when I saw the lady get out of her car. I saw that look on her face-but was pretty sure I hadn't taken her candy. It turned out that her husband had given her the forest-green silk outfit for their anniversary. But when she showed it to me, the jacket was lime-green under the arms. She had worn it with only a scarf on one of those unseasonably warm November days. We've all been there. Someone-the customer, a fellow partygoer, even the spotter, has done something to a garment. And now all we need to do is to get it back to wearable condition. Based on the customer's explanation and the location of the discoloration, the assumption is that the problem is the result of underarm perspiration. Green is a secondary color, meaning that it is a combination of two primary colors. Blue and yellow makes green; blue and red gives us purple; yellow and red makes orange.
