Brooks Brothers sells [pink dress shirts for men](http://www.brooksbrothers.com/mens/dress-shirts/0203,default,sc.html?pmin=1&prefn1=refinementColor&prefv1=Pink). I am a man. I wear dress shirts.

Therefore, I wear pink dress shirts [sup]\*[/sup] And, it just so happens, they seem to be the only shirts I wear that get approving comments from women.

[sup]\*[/sup] Yes, I am aware this is a _non sequitur_
