None. We play a fantasy RPG so we don't have to think about that sort of thing for a few hours

True, it is a fine. But to continue the joke: "Terrably sorry. My days are mixed up...I don't know what I was I thinking!...Orange, light blue, and gray should be worn on Wednesdays...Purple, violet, Indigo, and darker blues are Thursdays Colors. Green, pink, and bright red on Fridays. Black on Saturdays. Gold and yellow on Sun days. White and silver on Mondays. And reds on Tuesdays."
