    I work in air conditioning.  I drive in air conditioning and I get dirty at my job.  BLACK IS THE ONLY CHOICE.

  • Well there may be many reasons people wear black but sometimes I shouldn't give a dam what color you wear and why did I ask this probably to keep doing something because I can't do anything but read play chess and listen to music so I'm over and out.

    Black's become more than a fashion in the west.
    It's the colour artists wear so they fade into the background to put their art in the foreground.
    It's the predominant colour of clothing for religious clerics, judges, waiters, nurses trousers, punks, goths, ferals, funerals, formal attire, and casual attire.
    Maybe it shows fewer stains.
    It reminds me of Puritan England of the 16th and 17th centuries. 
    The more people wear black, the more those who don't stand out like popinjays and start to be suspected of narcissism.

    I prefer Asia, where the streets are a riot of colours on men and women alike.

    I know, have to wear what fits.  Don't want to waste money on buying clothing that wil be too big.  (I'm on a diet). Additionally, I'm cutting back on my personal expenses, no more pedi's, changed hairdressers to one I can afford, no buying any clothes unless it's under $10.00 and watching the gas usage.

    White doesn't "reflect" heat ... it merely absorbs it slower than black.
    However, it also loses heat slower.
