Turquoise

The Chorde family loved that color. Their clothes, drapes, paint and car were turquoise. They dyed their dog that color. When a relative died, the casket was that color. Martin and Julia told their kids The Founding Fathers wore turquoise socks.
All was fine until the Catholic Church declared the color turquoise Satan's color. They abolished it from the churches and any Catholic who associated with it would be excommunicated.The Chordes consulted Father Ned, who pointed out no fruit, vegetables, fish or meat was purple. Not even pickles, cole slaw or mushrooms.
Look what happened to circuses, which employed the color without limit. Gone, all of them bankrupt.
Martin and Julia considered creating a gas leak and ending it through carbon doxide. But suicide is against the Church, she reminded him.
But, he said, if we go to hell, we'll be surrounded by turquoise!Yes!
