Years ago, people rented phones from the local telephone company and had the option of paying a one-time fee to have a color model. One customer, who had had his phone for some time, forgot how this worked. When I was disconnecting his service, he objected to my leaving with his phone. "That's mine," he said angrily. "I paid for it." "No, sir, you paid for the color, not the phone," I explained. "Okay, take the phone," he said calmly, "but leave the color."
