color my world

it just occurred to me, as i filled up my mug with java, that i hate white coffee pots. why do they make white coffee pots anyway? they just get nasty dirty and the jo shows up so easily.

for that matter why do they make white toilets?

they should make brown toilets.

and while theyre at it, lets get some brown diapers and greenish brown kleenex, yellow urinals, red band-aids, and some white pop and tongue colored bubble gum and suckers so our teeth stay nice and mouths dont discolor.

its interesting that anything that involves substance exiting out bodies...we use white. and with things entering out bodies, (pop is a perfect example) we pick yellow #7, caramel coloring, and acid green. where is the caramel colored johnny! or how about this: a toilet that changes colors based on the color of ones excrement!

TMI, Jared... TMI. Coincidentally, I just read this article on color legendsyesterday. Perhaps a "why are most toilets white?" question is in order? I also happen to dislike the ones in public restrooms that are white bowls with black seats. What about that color combo ever made sense?
