Shopping? Let's Go - Chop Chop

The other day I heard those words dreaded by men of all ages:  "Dear, would you like to go shopping with me?"

Who does this? When a guy needs a few more #8 flat head Phillips screws, he doesn't call a close friend to ask if they want to go shopping. First off, guys don't go "shopping;" they go buying. They know the store they need, the area where such parts are and poof poof, the necessary things are bought and promptly brought home.

Women? It is "shopping." It is a social occasion since you're about to wander about a store (virtually any store will do) checking everything out.

This disparity has produced that sad, emasculated class of "men" who sit in malls holding on to their wife's purses while she and her dearest friends "shop."

You will NEVER catch a curmudgeon doing anything of the sort. We prefer turning it all into a useful sport.
