I took my husband to the commissary with me last week and spent twice what I usually spend because he kept putting things like smoked turkey legs, large bags of Kettle chips, cookies, etc in the basket. Much cheaper to go alone.
What’s with females and their shopping ? My daughter just gave me her new stove that came with her new house. She went and bought a $1,300 new one . ( 5 burner ) My new one works great.
Then she’ll come back to the Studebaker and cuss Earl for not showing up from somewhere and then come to realize that she drove HERSELF that day ! I wish I could find that Sunday strip again !
Linguist: I had some unintentional fun in a fabric store once. I pulled out my micrometer and asked to see their ecru thread, which I started measuring. When they were totally confused about a male being there at all, much less measuring the diameter of thread, I explained that I was with the maritime museum. Restoring a ship model required a certain size thread and ecru was the standard colour (this was in Canada) for running rigging. We got along great after that, although they did giggle at the memory whenever I returned.

Hey, maybe she was going to Lowes!

Earl better not complain to Opal when she gets backabout how much money she spent then.

Be careful, Earl, the little guy has ratted you out before. If you can, send him home before Opal gets back.

My wife seldom goes shopping without me. I carry the money. Her choice, not mine.

Lowes isn’t a safe bet either. The wife makes a bee line to the “Window Treatments” section, or even more horrific, the appliance department.

If Opal was going shopping at her favorite fabric store, as is her want, then Earl truly saved by hesitation.

Maybe she went to the yarn store. If she was like me she could spend all day in there. Or worse, the book store.

So she leaves Nelson at home without knowing where Earl is???

Ridiculous! No sane woman wants to drag a man along when they’re shopping!

@milaniaThe oxymoron “sane woman” and the word “shopping” have no business in the same sentence.
