Have you ever met someone that critics everything to the point of utterly destroying it? In other words some one that if you gave them a red pen and asked them mark everything that was wrong with a piece of work, all one would be left with is something that looks like a blood bath. I have such a professor, literally there is nothing that passes here critical eye. With this being said let me tell you about purple.
My group had a technical project due in which we were required to print a formal copy and post it for the classes review. We thought we had everything covered and just need to print a formal copy. Upon walking into class i first noticed a small look of horror on my teammates face, i then noticed that our technical description was covertly covered up under his book. This raised my concern for usually when one is proud of something you don't hide it under a book. That is when i heard the worst words one can ever hear..."Check this out!"
Our document was aesthetically pleasing, it was design with vertical boxes capture the main points. These boxes we had very carefully chosen to be cougar blue; however, that was not the blue staring me in the face. Rather everywhere blue was supposed to be a saw puke purple, not purple--puke purple. Our document was purple! And the description covertly hiding in the sea of purple.
I couldn't shoot myself so i just started to laugh! In fact i laughed so hard i interrupted the entire class because i couldn't stop for the first 15 minutes.
It was in this rage of laughter that i met and began to interact with two awesome girls. Since then we have become really good friends. I now when something going horribly wrong the phrase is, "You should have added purple!"
