Some time back I wrote and article on this subject. However, Letterman says his socks are not white. Well, they look white on my television set. They must look white to others too or why would he make the comment. I guess they are gray or light blue or such. Who cares? Don't they look silly on a man in a dark Brooks Brothers suit?

I wear white socks every day. When I put them on Sunday to go to Church my wife goes ballistic. I tell her not to worry. I'll just pull on my cowboy boots.
