Re: [MLUG - DISCUSSION] Shopping sucks (no, really, it does!)

[Ian Monroe <EMAIL:PROTECTED>]

I heard the theory that when women go out and shop they are gathering and
don't have a clear idea of what they want tell they get there. Men go out
and hunt and have a specific thing in mind before they start.

However, for my parents it is the opposite. 

I hate shopping, unless it is for computer stuff.
