Betty by Gary Delainey and Gerry Rasmussen for November 07, 2023

This place is full of Betty bashers at times. When she’s right, it’s crickets.

As a kid I never liked shopping for clothes, and when we did I didn’t get any good stuff like a leather jacket or wristwatch. Instead I got more underwear.

I still remember shopping with a former GF to buy some slacks for me. First store: bought four pair. She freaked and insisted we check ALL the clothing stores. Didn’t find any better selections or cheaper. That’s how it is for guys.

My first year in high school I talked my parents into letting me buy most of my back-to-school clothes but didn’t make it past the sporting goods store where that speargun had been calling my name for a long time. At first, my dad was real mad but later I saw him smiling and shaking his head as he told Mom what I’d done.

Online shopping has reduced our overall expenditures, too.

I have a hard time believing any man enjoys shopping.

I did that the other day at the grocery store—bought a bagful of stuff and forgot the item I had gone in for.

Most people do that Betty, you do too if you’re honest.
