    Default Here's a note from SWMBO

    Shopping List

    I was ill and my husband volunteered to go to the supermarket for me.
    I sent him off with a carefully numbered list of seven items.

    He returned shortly, very proud of himself, and proceeded to unpack
    the grocery bags.
    He had :
    one bag of sugar,
    two cartons of eggs,
    three hams,
    four boxes of detergent,
    five boxes of crackers,
    six eggplants, and
    seven green peppers.
    Androgens Order
    Forgive your enemies, but never, ever forget their names.
    The stupid neither forgive nor forget; the naïve forgive and forget; the wise forgive but never forget.

    Sorry guys,

    BUT I LIKE SHOPPING.


    Takes me less time to shop for food then it does to park the car.

    You can go as fast as you can and not worry too much about braking.

    C'mon David, you are a bit slow on this one.

    The list was for seven items and his wife had numbered
    them on the list as follows:

    1 bag of sugar
    2 carton of eggs
    3 ham
    4 box of detergent
    ... etc. etc.

    Default Seven steps to shopping

    If you really NEVER EVER want to do the grocery shopping, do the following with the list of seven items.

    1 - Pick up a flat of beer. Is it on the list? No, OK put the beer in the cart.
    2 - Pick up the biggest bag of potato chips. Is it on the list? No, OK put the chips in the cart.
    3 - Pick up the finest steak in the store. Is it on the list? No, OK put the steak in the cart.
    4 - Pick up the finest bottle of spirits to your taste. Put it back on the shelf and pick something less expensive and put it in the cart.
    5 - Check out, pay and go home.
    6 - Unload the purchases and put them away.
    7 - Brag to SWMBO about how you selected the less dear spirits.

    Don't worry about the seven steps. You probably will never have to rely on the list again.
