Yeah. we guys know the names of about eight colors whereas women are
familiar with over a hundred. It's just the reverse when it comes to
screwing.

Hey, if orange can be both a fruit and a color, why
discriminate against celery?
Somewhere in there is an off-color joke about fruits
and vegetables...

Oh, you can probably make up your own:
"There have been 12 separate cucumber robberies during the past three
months, the most recent involving 150 bags on Tuesday night."

A male who knows what the hell "puce" is and he's a heterosexual! I'm
impressed.
How do you feel about Taupe? Teal?

Just think what it would be worth if you'd kept it and restored it.

I've never dated a "Torx." Is that like a Horax?

My 59 Studebaker was Tahitian Coral Enamel -- said so on the body tag
Got it from my aunt and there was no way this high school kid was going to
refer to it as pink.
Hey, it was $50 in 1976, it got me to and from high school in 20 minutes,
saving me a 1 hour bus ride.

Hey! This isn't astrophysics. Or is your interest connected to
Goethe's color theory?

Taupe is what I put on wounds I acquire in the shop. Teal I shoot,
roast and eat. Yummy!

Actually, it's still on Dad's farm. It's in reasonably decent shape, if I
found a decent buyer for it, would be willing to part with it. The engine
was rebuilt in 1977 and probably has less than 3000 miles on it.
Transmission needs some work.
I'd rather restore my Ford 2N tractor.
