    Mildly amusing, not worthy of a thread.

    I had to explain the offside rule to an american flatmate of mine today (aswell as a lot of the other rules). He got it dtraight off and actually became more interested in the game once he understood the rules.

    why did you edit out the pic? maybe not worthy of a thread i dunno but now it def isnt and no mildly ammusing pic for me :(

    Here you are......

    The Offside Rule Explained For Women
    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 & 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!


    BUT, you must always remember that until the purse has "actually been thrown",
    it would be plain wrong to be in front of the other shopper!



    NOW DO YOU GET IT?!!

    The first time I read that, I couldn't get my head around it at all. :confused: I read it 4 or 5 times before I could see how it explained the offside rule...and I bloody understand the offside rule!

    But what if the shop assistant is only walking over to the till and you are actually ahead of her?

    Or you step in front of the other shopper and the puse is thrown but you leave it and your mate catches the purse is it ok to buy the shoes then?
