The big question

Why does every man own a blue dressing gown? Why blue? why?

OK... that *may* be a generalisation...

After a quick ask-about amongst people I spoke to in the last 10 mins, the score is thus:

1. Me: 1 x Burgundy towelling, 1 x Black velour, 1 x Black silky/satin
2. Colleague: 1 x white towelling, 1 x black towelling (stolen from hotels, he says!)
3. Father-in-law: 1 x green towelling (Marks & Sparks apparently!)

All married, and yet NONE of us have had them as gifts...

Two.
Both blue.
One has light and dark blue stripes so I guess that almost counts as three.

At the risk of sounding like a perv, I just asked a sales rep...

He wears a blue towelling one.


He is still wondering why I asked, I imagine.

There are 4 Blokes at work, one has a black Wolverhampton Wanderers dressing gown (!), two have blue ones, and the other (recently married) guy doesn't wear one. He also says he doesn't wear any jim jams :? .

well, if he's recently married, it just cuts down on the stripping time surely?

Nothing, but you better pray that cigar lands in the JD if you drop it. :shock:
