Go with pink. It's becoming fashionable for males and it says I bought the Corvette because I like the car, not because Lil' Jimmy is inadequate.
I told my lady friend after looking at a yellow C5 Z06:
"I don't give a damn if it was pink with a hello kitty on the hood! That car is a driver."

If a single teacher can't teach us all the subjects, then how can you expect a single student to learn all the subjects?

One day I'm going to write a song that involves waving ones hands in the air. HOWEVER, the corresponding rhyme will NOT be regarding how little the aforementioned hand waver cares.
"Throw your hands in the air, waive them as if you are hailing a taxi in New York..." I like it.

...One legend goes that in the 1950s, Gallo salesmen discovered that liquor stores in Oakland, California were catering to certain customer demands by attaching envelopes of lemon Kool-Aid to bottles of white wine. Supposedly Gallo borrowed the idea and created the citrus-flavored Thunderbird. Then, in 1969, Gallo put some real pop into Pop Wines with the release of Boone's Farm Apple.

Another version, supposedly a few years later, had United Vintners searching for a new wine product that would attract a younger legal-age drinker away from soft drinks. UV sales people were beating the hot asphalt of Los Angeles when they saw a group of young men playing basketball. To slake their growing thirsts, the hoopsters concocted "Shake 'em Up," a chilled mixture of fruit juice fortified with a little grain alcohol. The idea clicked, spawning Bali Hai and Annie Green Springs.

It wasn't long before other Pop Wines joined the already crowded market with such high octane (18-21% alcohol) flavored fizzy drinks as Richards Wild Irish Rose, Gypsy Rose, Night Train, Silver Satin and Hombre...
