very serious. she refuses to buy any more cookies from bob.

carol: bob, a lady came into the village market today ranting and raving.

bob: oh yeah? what happened?

carol: she found a blue hair in her chocolate chip cookie!

bob: aha. i can see how she'd be taken aback.

carol: does anybody in your family have blue hair?

bob: as a matter of fact, my son's girlfriend amber has blue hair.

carol: bob, i can't sell your cookies anymore.

bob: aren't you blowing things out of proportion?

carol: the health department would throw the book at me if they found out about this.

bob: couldn't we just sweep this under the rug?

carol: no. this is too serious.

bob: but i was just getting a handle on the cookie business. now what will i do? i don't have any other way of making a living!

carol: my heart goes out to you, bob, but you need to get your act together. i want to sell chocolate chip cookies, not hair cookies!

bob: i guess i just knocked myself out for the past week for nothing.

carol: clearly!
