Algebra

Hello, may I help you?

Yeah, I'm the painter. I'm here to paint the building.

Painter? We called no painter.

I wrote down the address. It's correct, right?

Well, yes.

Ok then. You want one coat or two?

No no no. I want no paint. The building is covered in mosaic tile, you see. Tile doesn't get painted.

And nice tile it is too. But that don't solve my problem, which is I got a truck full of paint you are telling me you don't need.

That is a problem, yes.

So how you gonna fix it?

What color is the paint?

Well, you got your reds, your yellows, your blues.

I suppose a little color here and there might be. . . acceptable.

Fantastic. We'll have this place looking like Disneyland in no time.

Actually, I'm not sure that would go over too well.

No? How come?

Just a feeling.
