This is from a Fark comment:
You will have to choose from a wide selection of what are varying shades of white.
You will be asked to come up with more money than you intended.
You will be uncomfortable as you seek to make your selection “fit” how you like.
Even when you come to loathe the white, expensive, still-not-quite-right selection you will run out of time to change your selection, throw up your hands, and hope for the best.
Afterwards, it is most often found in the deep end of the closet.
Lastly, done correctly, this choice will be passed down to your daughter who will marvel that it ever fit you as she plans to alter it to suit herself.
