Paints were a very precious quantity in the good old days, and British merchants could make a young fortune supplying paints to the colonies.
One company sent a clipper ship full of red paint across the ocean. It had the very bad luck to collide with another ship full of blue paint.
As a result of this disaster, both crews were . . . marooned.
oh, Matt, that was just baaaaad… i didn’t get tickled pink! 😀
Don’t shoot the messenger 😉
*sigh* too bad red and blue make purple. 😉
*agrees with sarah* maroon takes a bit of brown and red, not blue and red. (says the non paint major but i still took design core!)
awwww you all suck. and i mean that in the best possible way, of course. thanks for adding a bit of pun to my otherwise mehful evening, matt.
