Suppose the name is putting people off? Any C student in Spanish knows it means “black coffee,” but there’s always some joker who will bring the RO. ---

There’s a Spanish sparkling wine called Cordon Negro which means “black rope” and I haven’t heard any complaints. ---

Style? I generally like Bridgeport beers, and their Chamberlain Pale Ale is superb. ---

Half price? I’m sure you could sell it for a lot more than that. Just put up a sign saying _**TO BE SOLD: LARGE NEGRO SHIPMENT Far stronger and faster working than anything paler or Irish**_ and you’ll probably be surprised at the attention. I’ll be over here awaiting the flames. ---

If you have some leftover I’ll reluctantly take those Negros off your hands. ---
