Hi, guys. A few days ago we were talking about the movie and especially the scene where Mrs. B. is instructing the painters on the wall colors of her rooms. I shared the script someone posted here from that scene with my daughter in another city, and here's her reply, which I thought some of you would get a kick out of:

--"This is really making me chuckle. I'm flashing back to Curt's frustration when I was testing paints on the outside of the house and just couldn't decide between "Sommelier" and "Peaceful Grotto". He said, "I don't get it. I thought you were going to paint the house gray."

LOL! Never discuss color with a man - a third of them are color blind anyway but they'll never admit it.

If it's really "common" sense, why do so few people actually have it?

Ah, but we can tell the difference between shades of gray! It's red and green we have trouble with.

Hi All,
1. ALL men see in only 16 colours, like Windows default settings. Peach, for example, is a fruit, not a colour. Tomato is also a fruit. We have no idea what mauve is.
This is taken from the book of rules for men. All the rules are numbered 1.
Regards,
Adrian

OMG are you sexist! Anyway, I LOVE that
movie. One of my all-time favorites. Just
saw it about a week or so ago. That scene,
with the painter is VERY funny.

Oh, and we men see colors just fine, we
simply don't care.

We now return you to your auction stuff...
