Why Is Butt-Lint Always Blue?

[Lee Van Queef]

No matter what color pants or under britches I wear it's always the same color. Blue.

I actually read a thing about this. All lint in blue/grey regardless of what you're really wearing.

Lint is the accumulation of fibers that slough off clothing, linens and other textiles. When these fibers collect in clothes dryers, the majority of the time the resulting wad of fluff has a bluish-gray tint, despite the fact that your clothes come in myriad shades of green, red, tan, yellow, blue and so on.

The reason for the uniformity of color is that when you mix colors at random you end up with a muddy, dark mess. Melt a box of crayons together and you’ll see this for yourself. But when you mix clothes that are mostly blues, grays and blacks — as is typical with most wardrobes — with a smattering of reds, browns and greens, the mess becomes bluish gray every time.

Yeah, science ruined your ass lint. Don't blame me.

Thanks Adam. The journey of knowledge in life is never ending. Don't stop believin'!

You've been butt-burgled by Smurfs while you're sleeping. This is precisely the reason why I sleep on my back.

The funny thing is, you NEVER in a million years expected to get a real answer for that question, and Adam just just turned all the potential humor this thread had, into a scientific discussion that has no real merit. Nice try Dino...thanks for fucking it up Adam.

Those are dingle berries, not lint...and it means you need to wipe better, or possibly wash your ass crack after you pinch that loaf.

My dingleberries range from blueberries to figs as far as size but tend to be blue or blueish in color.
