Great, now I have mental pictures of grumbler and Marty with highlights in their hair.
Sounds like U R gay.  :D

Gee, when highlights were brought up, I thought about those things schoolkids use to mark important passages in their notes or textbooks.  Guess that sounds like I'm straight, but immature.

Why immature?  Many adults use highlighters.  When I was in the Navy, I went through them by the case load just on message traffic.  As a beltway bandit and now as a teacher, I use them a bit less, but still daily.

I just associate them with schoolkids.  Sure, I'm aware other people use them, but if someone mentions "highlighters", my initial mental image will be of kids in a classroom.  Well, the nerdy kids, anyway.

I use highlighters all the time. :)

We've already established that you're gay, we don't need further proof. Stand down, faegalus.  :hmm:

But they help me when reviewing URDs and software specs.  I even highlight shit electronically in Word. :weep:

I had to do that today in Word to mark changes on a questionnaire. :(
