One of the most dreaded words that causes strong men to shudder when they see their wives coming upon it are the words ON SALE. It doesn’t matter what it is on sale, the very words send females into shopping overdrive. I’m sure every married man has heard the words “but they were on sale” from his dear wife when she comes home with a load of whatever.
I discovered that if I can locate the nearest martini bar, the pain of shopping is greatly mitigated.
This wife hasn’t bought a pair of shoes in 5+ years. Yes, those were on sale because I’d rather pay the utility bill. I noticed last month the shoes I’ve worn nearly every day for the past 10 years or so has a hole through the sole. Now I’ll have to pull those new 5 year old ones out of their box.
Too many times to count.
I used to pitch a bitch when I'd see the bill, but after eighteen years.......let's just say that I've accepted that it's an immutable force of the universe, that neither I, nor any other man can stop.
A man will pay two dollars for a one-dollar item because he needs it. A woman will pay a dollar for a two-dollar item she doesn’t need simply because it’s on sale.
