Is he from Kentucky? There is a condition, something about hemoglobin, it's genetic in some families in Kentucky, but can also have other causes, I think. This condition is not harmful either, people that have it live long lives.

Good thing it wasn't the US. Would have cost $30k just for the ER visit.
Huh, turned out he blued himself.
Blue himself. You were 98% there, then you blue it.
Got you singing the blues on his reply for sure.
But just like the source material "I blue myself" doesn't make any sense when speaking in past tense, unless you're stretching language to make a joke. I love arrested development but I always thought that was one of their worst jokes.
The past tense of blow is blew. You really didn't get it.
If you had painted yourself blue you would say "I blued myself" not "I blue myself."
JFC..it was a phonetic joke to sound like he said he blew himself. It's a running gag with the character throughout the series. 4 hours and you still don't get it.
Dude, I get the joke. I blue myself/I painted myself blue = I blew myself/I sucked my own dick. I'm saying it's a badly written joke and it's not funny, a rare miss for the AD writers.

Which is why it survives and is quoted almost 20 years later.
Yo, listen up, here's the story
About a little guy that lives in a blue world
And all day and all night and everything he sees is just blue
Like him, inside and outside
Blue his house with a blue little window
And a blue Corvette and everything is blue for him
And himself and everybody around
'Cause he ain't got nobody to listen (To listen, to listen, to listen)
This happens surprisingly often. Wash fabrics before putting them into service; you don't want leftover dyes or other things on you or your stuff.
I never knew you had to wash your sheets before you slept on them
Absolute heathen
Oh nonono. You're thinking of the support group. Its called the Blue Man Group.
The doctor rubbed Lynch's arm with an alcohol wipe, causing the swab to turn blue. It was then that Lynch realized that sleeping on his new, unwashed bed sheets for two nights was to blame for his predicament.
He said that he and the doctors had a good laugh over his situation.
“I never knew you had to wash your sheets before you slept on them," he said. “Everyone in the reception of A&E was staring at me like they’d seen a ghost."
At least he’s from the UK or he would be really blue considering the lifelong medical debt.
I'm blue, da ba dee da ba di
Da ba dee da ba di, da ba dee da ba di
Da ba dee da ba di, da ba dee da ba di
Da ba dee da ba di, da ba dee da ba di
I'm blue, if I was green I would die
This was a very, very entertaining read thank you lol.
Poor mum getting a fright from the weak reception.
You never sleep on new, unwashed bedsheets. I thought everyone knew that.
Always wash fabrics you bring home before use!
Sounds like some affordable sheets.
Thank God it was blue, if he was green he would have died
TL;DR: Turns out he gave a sheet.
Sad blue?
