I'm doing some research on UPS. What I did know is that it was started in Seattle in the early 20th century. What I didn't know was that they wear brown because its the color of opium and they were started to deliver opium to the prostitutes of early Seattle.

Early Seattle was a dirty, shady place.

But why in the hell are you researching this topic?

I have a hard time believing that is true. With as big of a company they are now, I would think if there was any truth to this that they would change things immediately in this PC world.

I don't believe this.

when you send in your resume be sure to include a letter explaining why they should consider changing their color to purple or something.
