Things Stan Jones is sick and tired of hearing:
"Good thing you're not a member of the Green Party."
"Why so blue?"
"I didn't know blue balls could spread"
"You can keep asking till you're blue in the face....never mind."
"My man gots the blues!" [with high five offer]
"What's blue all over and is going to lose this year's senate race?"
"Professor Jones, how did someone as stupid as you become a college instructor?"

Oompa Loompas are actually orange. I find your lack of knowledge of other ethnicities disturbing. Please report for reeducation.

Another giant leap forward for alternative medicine.
I hope this guy wins. Can you imagine? As heard on CSPAN: 'I would like to yield my remaining five minutes to the distinguished blue gentleman..."

This is not so rare really. Korn of Korn Shell (ksh) fame
is blue. Basically ingesting a lot of silver can put you
at risk for this.

if only he had slightly more common sense, say choosing red instead of blue, i would consider voting him.

OK, does anyone remember who Stefan was talking about? I think it's Evangeline Walton, and my recollection is that she had to wear a blue topical cream due to some strange skin condition rather than that her skin was actually blue, but I can't find a definitive answer, and it's bugging me.

Ahhh... now I remember the oompa-loompa->blue connection... the girl turned into a plum and was rolled out and my aspartame addled brain swapped the colours around, remembering that scene. If you can be colourblind, can you be colourdyslexic?

The name Evangeline Walton sounds VERY familiar.
In her case, I'm pretty sure it was actual blue skin.
A friend sent me a link about a mercury-based treatment that had similar effects.

I believe that it was, in fact, Evangeline Walton. I saw her once, at the WorldCon in Tucson (sometime in the late 80's?). What I heard at the time(from someone working for Baen) is that she was subject to some kind of metal poisoning as a child, and it had permanently tinted her skin.
And she was almost graphite grey, rather than bluish.
