> Yes, grey school shirts look great when they get wet, becoming much darker. Some other colours also work well - if I know I'm going to get wet I often wear a tan long-sleeved T-shirt which turns dark brown when soaked, again an obvious contrast. :-)

> Here's a story I first posted in 2001:

> This is an incident that's stayed in my memory from school days. I was in the sixth form, aged 17. My formroom had a clear view down onto the tennis courts. One lunchtime in late spring or early summer I noticed that two boys were playing tennis in the nearest court - obviously not a formal match as they weren't in sports kit, they were in their normal grey shirts and trousers. It began to rain. I watched as dark spots appeared on their shirts, spreading and merging into big patches on their shoulders. They carried on with their game as the rain got heavier. Their shirts became dark, shiny and slightly translucent from the top down, sticking to their bodies as they got wet. By now at least four of my form were watching them avidly. By the time they'd finished, both boys were quite well soaked - with only about five minutes left of the lunch break. I've no idea what they did about their wet clothes before the next lesson. Nothing, presumably - I wish I'd seen their teacher's face on finding two dripping-wet students in the class!
