[Mgs] Why I hate Red Cars

[Paul Hunt]

But in order for that to be valid over any colour either white wasn't a colour
people wanted anyway, or everyone previously agreed to have the same colour to
confuse the judges!

Some years ago there were stories going round the UK about the Police playing
car snooker - you know, you book a red one, then a 'colour', then another red
one and so on and highest score on the shift wins.  A police pal on traffic
said he had never heard of it happening but they did get a warning note from
on high saying a very dim view would be taken if anyone was found doing it.
