ROYGBIV
I thought I'd blogged about this. However, I am unable to find it in the WADLL archives. If it sounds familiar, please forgive me.
Regarding a comment I made in yesterday's post:
The wife at the time and I were visiting a gay couple in their new condo. I hate to go too far into the stereotype -- oddly enough only as they apply to gay folks, Jewish people, and minorities ... I'll ride Baptists, Catholics, women drivers and Republicans all day long -- but the place was very tastefully decorated using things I'd never consider hanging on a wall. (And I don't mean whips and ball gags -- that would be a bondage sort of stereotype anyway.)
As the guys showed us the study the wife at the time said something like, "Oh ... I love this color. What is it?"
I said, "brown" at the same instant Bill said "stony creek."
Mark looked back and forth between Bill and me and, pointing from one of us to the other, said, "Straight man's answer ... gay man's answer."

The comedian who used to do the Shoney commercial (Forgot his name) used to tell a story about a time he was convalescing at home and getting more involved in the domestics than he would have liked. He said, "I now know the difference between mauve and fuchsia. No man should know the difference between mauve and fuchsia." Or brown and stony creek.
