    I always presumed it would be like watching a snooker referee who wears white gloves to keep the balls clean and you would expect someone bringing new furniture into your house would keep it spotless.

    A certain cartoon mouse has white gloves, so perhaps it's a sign of a Mickey Mouse organisation. :#
