It it a feeling beyond compare
To be here playing Millionaire!
And though it wouldn't be egregious
To be here with Regis
I'd much rather have Meredith Vieira.

Andrew has $27,100 in his bank, with one Jump The Question left.

Answer

B: Soft pink

This was actually a feminist issue for a few people way back when -- swaddling baby girls in strength-draining, enervating pink, whilst wrapping baby boys in the creativity powers of blue, was to those people blatantly unfair and sexist. So I got in the habit of always giving pastel yellows and greens to both unborn and newborn children.

Except for Raggedy Ann and Andys after Mom started making them, and then of course the bright red and blue prevailed.

I'd have thought the pink color was intended to "feminize" the locker room and make the players feel less than manly.
