QUESTION:
Which color is bad luck when used
to write or sign a name in Asia?
a) White
b) Red
c) Blue
d) Black
e) Green
ANSWER:
a) White on, but not right
on. In fact, you're wrong. So I
guess you need to white out this
answer. Is white even a real color?
Try again.
b) Correct. In ancient times the
color red was reserved for the dead.
The names of the deceased were written,
painted, or engraved in red on gravestones
and plaques in the village centers.
Even today many traditional people
will get nervous if you write their
name down in red. To write a living
person's name in red means they
will die soon or you want them dead.
Try this next time you write a letter
to your ex-lover.
c) You're wrong, but don't feel
too blue!
d) Are you having a total Blackout
in your mind? Of course not black.
e) Don't be greedy. Money can't
always buy the right answer. Try
or buy again!
