[kj] OT: White trash

[Brendan]

Today is breast cancer awareness day in NZ (pink robbon day) and the theme
for that is pink, a bunch of guys from work are dressed in these sharp
tailored PINk suits going around collecting donations. I'm wearing the
pink ribbon thing myself...more to ward off all the street collectors than
anything else...only time in my life I'll ever wear pink, or even worse,
SALMON... with you on that... :)
