    Re: Boot color/tights color with tartan skirt

    Actually, one big store stateside had a row of "dumb husband" wing chairs... with a big screen TV showing the game of the day, and ... (wait for it) ... a beer fridge with a sign that said "please help yourself - one only please."

    I sat with a bunch of guys I didn't know, watched a game I didn't care about, and spent a lot of time while our wives shopped. Every few minutes, one of them would show up and get five opinions for the price of one. We sold each other's ladies a bunch of stuff and enjoyed going broke together.

    Thats way too funny. The Diamond Center has something like that. A couch near the back with a plate of cookies (except mall employees like me just found the cookies and woudl sneak in and grab a few on our lunch break. No wonder the Diamond Center doesnt like me anymore!)

    Husbands in Bath and Body Works (where I work) are way funny. During Christmas, we had a buy-3-get-3-free deal and there were so many times that men would bring up three items and Id be like "you get to pick out 3 more items for free!" and they'd get this panicked look on their face and be like "umm...no....its ok. These were on the list" and Im just thinking "oh man. If your wife were here..."

    We also had a day when we were giving out free wall plugs where yuo screw a bulb into the bottom and the bulb lets out a scent. Husbands would qualify for the free items and Id be like "do you know what our wallflowers are?" and they'd be like "....nope" so I'd lead them over to the table with them on it and explain and after awhile, you'd get a group of like 3 men silently sniffing the bulbs and trying to figure out which one to choose for like an hour.

    Men in bath and body stores are too funny.

    Off topic, I know, but isn't it funny how easy it is to get a guy to smell something.

    It's almost a challenge, that can not be denied, for a lot of us.
