Default Real Men can wear orange!

Please help me convince this poor sod that it's OK to be male and wear
high-vis clothing.

Thanx.

Fairly ambiguous, but it seems he's saying that he's selling it
because it's a woman's jersey more than for its color, per se.

Either way . . . if it fits and it's passably clean, I'm wearing it.

Life's too short to be worried about crap like that.

You want us to e-mail him or bid on the jersey?
He says it's a woman's jersey which could mean it's cut for a woman or
the team is a women's team. Anyway, large is too big for me but I like
orange in general... Jittery Joe's, Rabobank, Euskaltel.

Nah, guys like that are too fun to giggle at. I got passed by a few riding
my fred bike yesterday--the hypermachismo is intoxicating, it's like they
excrete Burt 45 by Faberge. Ohhh, la la!

Try telling the beefy dudes wearing orange that are repaving the street in
front of my house that the colour's a bit poofstery, and you'll live to
regret it...

Maybe it's got a built-in shelf bra.

Anyhow, orange is okay if you're an "autumn".


cheers,

It could be a 'bro' or a 'manssiere'...
