    I move to request an addition to the amendment. "Fuschia (or whatever it is called) is not a color recognized by men. Ever." Aye!

      I thought the powers that be would have added this, so I propose an Amendment: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Amendment to the International Council of Man Laws: NEW Article: 28) Real men see in at best only 6 colours, participating in a conversation regarding particular 'shades' of colour is an act of treachery; with castration the only just form of punishment. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- All those in favour say 'I'... :-D

      Rule 29: When buying a car, it has a petrol engine, not diesel, not hybrid, and not sodding electric. Rule 30: A man will own one suit. This shall be used for weddings, funerals, job interviews and court appearances. Rule 31: When exiting a shower, the towel is worn either round the waist or casually tossed over one shoulder. It is at no time worn round the chest. Rule 31a: If a woman is present when exiting the shower, the genitals should be waved at her and the call of "Whay Hay" given.

            Good to see other people are carrying on what I started. :laugh: I'd like to add a corollary (sadly, not my own) to your assertion:

                              When you say mushroom are you referring to the colour of the surface or the gills. To chantrelles? to fly agarics? the colours you see when you eat a funky one? Mushroom just can't define a colour in any meaningful way These issues are why real men define colours in hex!

                                  I'll admit to owning 3 suits. Sometimes you realise too late that your suit(s) is/are still in a crumpled heap from the last time you wore it/them and have to bite the bullet and buy another on the way to said interview/funeral/wedding.
