Uncle Sal walked into Giacomo's place and removed his persimmon-colored cowboy hat. In the corner was a mannequin wearing an outfit of at least four different shades of blue. The suit was topped off with an unusual azure hat.
"Are you ready for the onion festival?" Before Giacomo could answer, Uncle Sal pointed to the mannequin and asked, "What inna world is that? Holy cuttlefish! That thing is hideous.
