Man’s constant battle
My girlfriend wanted to go shopping today, but didn’t have anyone to go with. Being the great guy I am I suggested I could go along and hang out while she shopped. I must say, she was very cognizant of my presence and the idea that I would only be able to tolerate so much of that.
At any rate we got to talking about shopping and the gifts that are usually touted as “Man Gifts”. Sure enough most of the things we talked about were on sale in the stores. They fell into two distinct categories, hair removal and ties.
There were devices for trimming the hair in your nose, your face, and yes even your back. It’s like the marketing world views men in some constant struggle with body hair. I can almost see the commercial of a leather clad warrior, wielding a sword, battling gangling tentacles of hair coming in at all directions…and to top it off, when our hero is victorious…he is handed a tie and told to put it on.
