Things that "real" men do.

    Well first off, a real man knows how to shop.
    He realises that grocery shopping is really a test of how much stuff he can carry at the one time.
    Items can be wedged under arms, stuffed into pockets and draped about the shoulders or neck but under no circumstances may a basket be used.
    Trolleys must also be avoided at all costs.
    Being seen pushing a trolley is almost as shameful as carrying a basket.
    Unless of course the trolley is solely filled with booze (excluding wine), fags and crisps.
    In which case the trolley should be proudly paraded around the store like a trophy of sorts.

    A real man also knows how to handle the purchasing of embarrassing items.
    Items such as baking goods, beauty products, cleaning products and pretty much anything that the real man construes as being feminine.
    As the suspect item is being paid for, the real man will give the shop assistant a knowing look, as he confides to them "they're for the missus", skillfully avoiding yet another potentially explosive situation.

    My dad is so manly he gets a trolley if he has to buy more than one thing.

    And buys tampons for the various female family members who are in need and then chats to shop assistants about his cramps...

    doesn't get things checked.

    I've had a lump on the back of my head the size of a small potatoe for the last month. Not sure how it got there either. Drunken night out or tumour. Savage!
