3. They're not giving us a "mauve" option? WTF?

I mean, really. The nerve.

This is Totally Tasteless Totalitarianism.

Next thing you know, they will be introducing "dickies" into the required Prole uniform.

10. This is an interesting extension of an old practice...
customs used to use a system that involved folders of different colors. The color of the folder (which was issued as one debarked), indicated the level of inspection the passenger received. Last time I was subject to it was in 1969, but I suspect that the practice probably did not end then.

12. Yes, I used to always get the red folder whenever I flew in from Jamaica
I'm wondering if I'll ever be able to leave Gulag-Amerika again.
