Saw a guy in a grocery aisle just a few minutes ago who appeared from a distance to be chartreuse.
I've heard of being under the weather. But this was ridiculous.
I probably should have turned and run. But I was curious.
He looked liked a cartoonish “Before” picture in a TV commercial for some over-the-counter cold remedy.
Then I got a little closer, and I saw.
He was a painter or drywaller and his face was covered with light green residue of the building trades.
