[BNM] [OT] Offside rule explained for girls

[Alex Studd]

My wife doesn't get the cricket scores either, today i'll be working on 
an analogy featuring handbags, baby clothes, wall paper and curtain 
swatches. I'm fairly sure that the last sentence will be "so if you've 
nagged your husband into hanging the wallpaper and curtains and got him 
to agree with your choice of baby clothes and managed to get him to give 
you the correct opinion of all 11 handbags you've shown him twice then 
you win, again, like you always do."

to be honest the shoes analogy is a little dated, as Andy pointed out it 
doesn't take account of non active shoppers, i mean what if your friend 
who tossed her wllaet over suddenly noticed the shoes while you were 
fumbling with your purse cos she's a woman and she can't throw and you 
can't catch

i have this sneaking feeling i'm in trouble with abvout 50% of the 
population now
