I can see the color easier than I can see your large print.

I call this Stabylo Yellow


(or whatever brand of highlighter you use in your neck of the woods)

I saw some stupid scouts forcing the kids in their "protection" to wear these safety jackets... some of those jackets were so big that two kids tripped on the bottom and fell (this was in Flanders on their "national day", of course)...

Snapper Blue

I thought this was gonna be another 'blue/tan dress vs. gold/black dress'.

Actually it seems the florescent vest has become a bit of a fashion trend.  Kinda like jacket liners five years ago.

I'd just spin it back on them, Kevin - "Wait a minute, you're not really the safety inspectors are all, are you?!"

Put one of those babies on, carry around a clipboard, and you can get into anywhere! If anyone asks what you're doing there, just say you're "from the city" and they'll let you through, no questions asked.

Man, I never thought of that! Pretty sure they're opening up some new `exotic gentlemen's club' over the road from work here, might have to don one of these babies, grab a clipboard and head over there and do a `surprise safety inspection' - especially the backstage area where the lovely ladies are - they need the most protection!
