"Hello. I was wondering if you do customized orders."

"Extra time for processing and delivery I assume…. No that isn't a problem."

"Well, I'm looking for the perfect valentines day gift."

"Yes. I do realize that it's September."

"I like to handle this type of stuff early. It leaves plenty of time for customization and dealing with any… issues… that might arise."

"Here is the deal. I need two bears… the first a modification of the biker model in butter cream."

"Yes, the 'love rider'"

"Okay. First, no bandana. Second, can we put a big yellow X on the jacket?"

"Yeah, on the front. Also yellow piping on the collar and wrists."

"I see… That's disappointing. How about a dark blue tee-shirt underneath, and can you give it red sunglasses?"

"Yes, like that super-hero guy."

"You can't? Well… that's okay, I know a guy."

"The second bear, white. As white as you have."

"'Vanilla?' Sounds good."

"Okay, This one needs a white leather corset. White panties, garter, and stockings. Oh and a, Ummm… hello?"

"Hello?"

The receiver was replaced on the cradle for a moment, and then returned to Scott's ear as he dialed another number.

"Hey Hank, sorry to bother you. Could you make me a pair of my ruby-quartz glasses small enough to fit on a teddy bear?"

"Yes, I do realize that it's September."

With apologies to Mr. Bob Newhart.
