Cost of a Black Sky

It has been brought to my attention, by a fellow BP preservationeer,
that if you purchase a black sky, as opposed to a blue one, then you
will never have any hope of seeing the black helicopters. So, it begs
the question, are the anti-preservationist developers in subversive
cahoots with the black helicopter pilots?

What does this conspiracy imply regarding street people who dress in a
fashionable blackness? I think it was someone dressed in black that slit
my pants last week while I was looking skyward to watch a helicopter
hoovering overhead. They must have been trying to steal my multi-purpose
pliers/knife, or inducing a cheap black market sex change without my
notice. The city is full of distractions and bargains abound. I was
nervous to look down at the cracked brick parapet with the craft looming
overhead. Or was it?

Though I seem to recall the helicopters are actually white beneath with
green stripes, is it certain that they are not blue beneath with white
stripes? Or is it only that they look blue beneath with white stripes
when you think you see them, but not actually because you do not really
see them because they are black and you have been seduced into thinking
the sky is blue when it is actually always black? Where is the dark
side? Last I looked it was in a chimney looking up, looked black, then
sky blue, then I got some kind of crap in my eye and spent the next
twenty minutes blinking.
