On my recent trip to the USA I bought a few t-shirts. I like t-shirts but I particularly like American t-shirts as they are generally made without seams at the sides and do not twist after a few washes. Actually the fabric always seems better as well. The picture is NOT one of my t-shirts by the way - just a random image I came across.
So, this morning I put one of these shirts on that happens to have a rather large Las Vegas motif printed on the back. It is a similar colour to the one in the photo. I was worried that it looked stupid.
“Do I look stupid in this t-shirt” I ask my wife just before we take the dogs out for their morning constitutional. She looks me over thoughtfully..
“What are you?” She asks, “56? 57?”
“What’s that got to do with it?” I say.
There is a slight pause…
“Beige” she says.
It’s amazing just how much scorn she got into that word.
Beige comes in for rather too much stick in my opinion…embrace the beige!

@thud: oooh yes. A nice polyester beige cardigan… and beige slippers! Oh I am beside myself!
Hey! I was doing this one! LOL!
You failed to admit what you said to me after that, too! I could probably sue.
@Wife: Ah! I had forgotten my riposte! Anyway Your version is different to mine. Beige memory as well then!
Now, being female, which of the two versions would I lean toward believing do you think? ;O)

@DrowseyMonkey: Me..me. You believe me! We were not too far out. Remember that several hours had gone by before we both wrote it up. The old little grey cells probably don’t work as reliably as they used to….
@Truden: I am a big fan of blue
[...] point didn’t seam to be close, I took her to my laptop and asked her: “Would you please read this?” She looked at me in a specific woman’s way and started reading. A pleasant silence [...]
I’m sorry, I liked her version better. I’m with GemmaK. Beige? Purleeeeeeease

Now I know why I left blighty. Thank goodness that beige is the latest “tendance” in France.
