A woman that I work with just purchased a new BMW. When she showed me the car, I asked her why she chose white. She said that any color other than white or black was extra.

Now, help me out here. A BMW is not your basic run of the mill transportation. It is an expensive luxury car. And, if you can afford to buy one, then certainly you should be able to afford it in a color that you like.

Of course, the BMW is a status symbol. So, I will have to point out to her that since she has a white BMW, she is telling the world that she can’t afford a colored one.
