There is a small band of Hasidic Coptics in Periwinkle County. They believe that Jesus is the Messiah but that it is Carl, the angel of taste, who will come again to restore order to the world.
They migrated from the mountains of Phrygydydstan to Periwinkle County because it reminded them of nothing in their homeland, and also because they thought Carl would approve of the taste of persimmons.
In order to entice Carl to come and restore order to the world, they always dress tastefully. The men wear white shirts and ties at all times, even to bed. Except for Tankovich Karsky. He always wears a tasteful tie, usually with an M.C. Escher pattern, but his shirt is always tan or yellow or green or blue.
"Why, Mr. Karsky," asked Sociology Professor Ben "Seymour" Bottoms, "do you never wear a white shirt?"
"Ah," said Tankovich Karsky, "the last time I wore a white shirt, I got married."
