What does that shirt say?
A few days ago, I received an e-mail which implored me to wear a red shirt on Fridays, to show my support for the troops in Iraq and Afghanistan (and, I suppose, those in South Korea, Germany, Okinawa, and a few dozen other places).
Today, I saw that one of my Facebook friends had participated in an event that called for the wearing of red shirts, also on Fridays, to support the monks and other citizen protesters against military rule in Myanmar (aka Burma).
On most Fridays from August through December, if a co-worker isn't wearing an orange shirt in support of a certain NCAA football organization, he or she is somewhat likely to be wearing a red one out of loyalty to one of a couple of southern neighbor rivals.
So, if you see someone wearing a red shirt on a Friday, don't make any assumptions as to what that means.
