When I was third grade we had to stay inside during recess because of a bear sighting a couple times. They had lots of rules about recess. We could only catch frogs in the creek when the high school needed them for bio labs. The students had to catch their own frogs for dissection. Some of the girls didn’t want to catch frogs so they would give us a quarter to catch one for them. We couldn’t go outside while it was raining unless we were walking home.

How quaint! At my (inner-city) school, one of the rules was "Don't bring a knife to a gunfight!"

One could derive a basic truth about economics and the inherent genetically instinctive motivations that influence women in their spending ....right from that particular statement in your posting!
