    Would Rather die ... than keep shopping with GF

    http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/arti...thes-shop.html

    It would seem that a Chinese man reached his limit when his girlfriend insisted they keep shopping. Oh, how many times I've wished I could do something as dramatic while not having to deal with the consequence of a deadly end. Loading the invisible revolver and spinning the chamber before putting my fingers up to my head just doesn't send the same message.
    Who will be scarred more? This woman or her next victim, er, um, boyfriend.

    I established with the wife a long time ago that I do not go mall shopping. Period. End of story.

    In the past, when GFs tried that crap, they had 2 choices. Either they went by themselves, or they got kicked to the curb.

    I don't do malls either. When I need something, I go in, and if they don't have it, I'm gone; no muss, no fuss, no looking around. Of course, this doesn't apply to radio stores, hardware stores, or exotic wood suppliers.

    There is an exotic wood place about an hour from me, they got everything. By the way Charles, you don't joke about exotic wood. I have half of the Amazon in my garage.

    As the cliche goes: Been there, done that.

    It's probably a good thing I sold off most of my guns long ago; a .22LR bolt action rifle is a poor suicide weapon.
    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

    I always have done grocery shopping at one supermarket in whichever place I'm living in so being familiar with the layout and following a set, short course I'm in and out in about 20 minutes. I bring a list and stick to it with few exceptions, maybe a box of doughnuts, a pie or cake catches my eye but that's it. Once I went with my girlfriend, she bounced around like a ping pong ball in a washing machine dragging me around taking an hour and a half. Naturally I ended with a cart full of stuff, most of which I didn't need and guess who paid for it all. Fed up, the next time I gave her the list and stayed home, a couple hours later she showed up with a load of stuff I don't like and little I do, none of it was on the list she never even looked at. OK, enough is enough, from then on I went back to shopping myself and every time she asked if I needed anything from the store I said no, I already have more than I need. She ever did get the full impact of that answer no matter how many times I gave her the same read between the lines answer. She was a good girl but not a nice girl (if you get my drift) so I kept her, good girls are hard to find.

    I gave up on trying to understand women a long time ago when one gave me the best advice ever given for peace of mind; never try to make sense out of nonsense.

    I don't mind a bit of shopping. Long cashier lines or lack of AC in the summer will cause me to leave everything where it is and go through the exit pronto.

    Remember when we were kids and most places were not air conditioned ? a lot of places were fanned but no AC.
