We discussed this discrimination regarding green paint today.........and.........I can't remember the outcome
I think it was resolved over a beer.
The outcome was something along the lines of:
- Beer tastes nicer than green paint
- Beer is cheaper than green paint
- Beer is certainly more readily available than green paint
- Beer doesn't require you to wash your glasses out in turps
- Drinking beer means that you don't pee green for the next week (some beers obviously excluded from this generalisation)
- Beer is 'greener' than green paint, due to it's natural ingredients
- Drinking beer allows you to stay sober, for longer, than green paint
- Olive Drab was first invented when a couple of p*ssed up squaddies accidently knocked a barrel of home brew in to the grey primer they were using to field paint some Bedford lorries. The look was so good (by 1940's standards), that the colour was oficially adopted by Allied Supreme Command and all vehicles were repainted in Olive Drab over their original green colour.
Actually, that last one might not be strictly accurate.
Sorry.....what were we talking about again?
