Fairly ambiguous, but it seems he's saying that he's selling it
because it's a woman's jersey more than for its color, per se.

Either way . . . if it fits and it's passably clean, I'm wearing it.

Life's too short to be worried about **** like that.

You want us to e-mail him or bid on the jersey?
He says it's a woman's jersey which could mean it's cut for a woman or
the team is a women's team. Anyway, large is too big for me but I like
orange in general... Jittery Joe's, Rabobank, Euskaltel.

Nah, guys like that are too fun to giggle at. I got passed by a few riding
my fred bike yesterday--the hypermachismo is intoxicating, it's like they
excrete Burt 45 by Faberge. Ohhh, la la!

Try telling the beefy dudes wearing orange that are repaving the street in
front of my house that the colour's a bit poofstery, and you'll live to
regret it...

Maybe it's got a built-in shelf bra.

Anyhow, orange is okay if you're an "autumn".


cheers,

I was thinking that, but didn't want to say it. An orange jumpsuit
with DOC on the back. You see it on TV every time one of those macho
men are brought into court on charges of murder, assault,
robbery....etc. And the cops wear it when they are directing traffic.
Orange is a color to use when you want to be very visible. I don't see
very many people dressed in orange for work.

I don't think I ever owned anything orange. I really don't. The only
time I wore it was when I was a patrol in school and helped the
crossing guard. Our raincoats were orange too. Our patrol belts were
orange. (With a silver Badge) Yep thats it for my life with the color
orange.
