Women Pay Attention

    You're in a shoe shop, second in the queue for the till.
    Behind the shop assistant on the till is a pair of shoes which you have
    seen and which you must have.

    The female shopper in front of you has seen them also and is eyeing them
    with desire.

    Both of you have forgotten your purses.

    It would be totally rude to push in front of the first woman if you had
    no money to pay for the shoes.

    The shop assistant remains at the till waiting.

    Your friend is trying on another pair of shoes at the back of the shop
    and sees your dilemma.

    She prepares to throw her purse to you.

    If she does so, you can catch the purse, then walk round the other
    shopper and buy the shoes.

    At a pinch she could throw the purse ahead of the other shopper and,
    *whilst it is in flight* you could nip around the other shopper, catch the purse
    and buy the shoes.

    Always remembering that until the purse had *actually been
    thrown* it would be plain wrong to be forward of the other shopper.

    Congratulations - You have just learned the offside rule!

    I'd have roffled if I didn't know the offside rule already - but for the benefit of the 3 women in Ireland who still don't know it, hurrah and rofl.

    Very good.

    But...not quite complete
    Your friend is trying on another pair of shoes at the back of the shop and sees your dilemma.
    Of course, if your friend was trying on a pair of shoes at the front of the shop, she would be entitled to throw the purse back to you, and it would be perfectly legal to be in front of the second shopper even before the purse is thrown.[/pedantry]:o
