    Ok, ...........let's raise the stakes a bit.  As you sit at your terminal
at work......the boss is terrorizing some other hapless soul at the moment and
you are dreaming of your absolute 'dream' kayak...........suddenly over to your
left,  just outside your periphery  the copy machine seems to be behaving
oddly.......... it coughs and wheezes, and that corner of the office fills with
an acrid blue smoke, like your Studebaker wagon used to disgorge every morning
during warm-up exercises.  Out of the azul haze steps ...........a barely
recognizable form.......you park your bifocals on your forehead for a moment
and swivel your chair, one elbow slung on the backrest to have a better look at
this ghostly form, now wheezing and coughing herself and stepping from the blue
haze.........Why.....it's Glenda!!!!......... your own personal fairy
gosh-mother!   And she's rather oddly appareled as well,  head to toe in a
kamelika (that's an Aleut sea-lion intestine rain slicker, for the uninitiated
), and seems to be brandishing an unfeathered King Islander single bladed
paddle (yes, I know that all single paddles are unfeathered, smartypants), but
his one has *seaquins* all over it!
    Immediately you realize that dressed in so oddly a manner for a Minneapolis
office workday, she probably has something in the grant-you-three-wishes-line
in mind for you today.

            So here it is.......quickly you blurt out your choices of kayaks in
descending order.....three of 'em......as she is a magic fairy gosh mother and
therefore price is of no object  you let your imagination go wild.......and
quickly before your boss remembers that you haven't been tormented yet today
and enters your cubicle to find you with an oddly appareled woman and fairy
dust all over your keyboard and monitor.......

                And the choices are..........  1.

                                                    2.

                                                        3.  .......?
