re: Why do we universally accept people having “red hair” when it’s clearly orange.

When I first started dating my now wife, I had come home from a date and my dad (God Rest his Soul) was sitting in his chair on our back deck, he looks at me and in perfect deadpan w/that trademark shite-eating grin asks me, "so, does she have a red bush?" My stepmom looks at him and says, "you're a fricking pig!",and storms back inside.

I miss that man every day.
