    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.

                            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.

                                        It's a colour known only to woman, which when applied to a wall will cause men to say "Oh, you meant brown"

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