What's your favorite color of biro?

The Backwards Man

I got accosted by a shop assistant today because I signed my name in green biro on a credit card receipt. He said it has to be black or blue and wouldn't accept it, I said OK, I won't shop in a shop that supports ink discrimination so took my custom elsewhere. I always write in green pen, it defines me as a person.

So what's your favorite color biro?

HAS to be black. I remember a teacher in school telling us once that writing in blue makes the writing too bright and subconsciously annoys the examiner. Seemed logical at the time.

You forgot to put a space between pen and is and I've never seen brown ink, but yeah, you got the idea.

Blue is always what I try to write in, red is for underlining/correcting. Black is for forms.

I like purple, but it's hard to find purple biros.

Garzard

Always blue, can't write as neatly with any other colour for some odd reason.

One letter in Blue , One in Black , One in red and then one in green is how I roll .

That's because purple inkplants are very rare, and can only be found in the chikihikkha mountains in Mexico.

Blue, I always think my writing looks nicer in blue ink!

Now that I think about it, I think that's true.. Much prefer correcting black.

I always write in invisible ink, cos they come free with my Junior Private Eye kits.
I think it is discriminatory that people don't carry invisible ink revealers on them.

seamus

I like writing in red biro. Brightens up everything.

I love it when people react aghast, claiming it's bad luck to write in red biro. What the actual fnck like.

kylith

Generally you can't sign official documents in red or green ink because those colours don't show up properly when faxed or photocopied. At least that's what I was told.

antodeco

Green Biro? I remember I had a Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles pen, that wrote in green! It was awesome!

EDIT: Its actually still in use in my folks house! 20 year old ink!

Angron

I like the green best, but black would be the one I'd use most often cause it's more common.

What? I've never heard that before, that's ridiculous idea.

What are these "biros" you speak of? When I was at school (learning how to spell favourite, colour, labour, harbour, etc.) my desk had a white delph inkpot with a brass cover that slid over it. You dipped your nib into the inkpot, touched the nib off the side of the inkpot to remove excess ink and then wrote your longhand a, b, cs into your No.7 copybook. The colour of the ink was as mixed by Teacher at start of term. Except for pencils, all other writing implements were sinful.

Years later, when the Vatican invented photocopiers and fax machines, they designed special software that rendered green ink invisible on the copies. Only black or Holy Mary blue on the originals would work properly, thereby continuing to protect us from mortal sin coloured ink.

Staff in catholic banks are still trained to reject green ink - there's a special colour-blindness test at interview to weed out the pagans that might miss green ink.

I've heard it said that some sickoes in the Far East make pens with red, blue, green, yellow and black all in the same pen but I think this is probably just scaremongering.

The British Racing Green ones were always quite nice.
