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. .......?
