Madness Sale

As we just talked about shopping, I noticed that there's a difference between how men and women shop.
Men are more of a need-basis kind of shopper, who decide what they need first before they go shopping, whereas women are more of, well, … nuts.
No, sorry, I meant whereas women are of a price-basis shopper, who find out about the price of things first and make up some needs for them. That’s why women love sales and discounts so much.
For instance, if a man has a problem with his heart, he would immediately find a heart transplant and pay for whatever the cost is. But a woman in a same condition will wait for a big organs summer sale, where she could buy a heart transplant in a big discount and can collect stamps that can be traded with kidney or other intestines.

Women usually cannot stand seeing a sale. When a woman walks into a store and sees a dress with 40% discount, she just suddenly forgets about the 5 wardrobe full of dresses that she has at home and thinks that she is a poor old lady from Zimbabwe who never goes to a shopping mall. So when a woman sees a sale, she is going to think that she definitely need that dress.
When a man walks in a shopping mall, on the other hand, and sees a 40% discount sign for a shirt, he will not be tempted. The truth is, he does not even see the sign, because he is busy with either checking out the girls in the stores, or trying to find an excuse to run away from accompanying his wife or girlfriend’s shopping spree.

But I am not saying that men do not have this same shopping madness. They do, when it comes to electronics, sports and cars. But women tend to have this madness more often. So, it is up to us husband to end this madness. I say we stand up and make our ground. We look our wife in the eyes and tell her, firmly and boldly, that we are having a fever and she cannot go shopping to take care of us.
Thank God for women’s paternal instinct
