1955 newspaper. If I’m reading this right, smoking is safe because some mice and hamsters exposed to smoke didn’t get cancer after 50 days. Glad “the science” is smarter these days…
Also, I wonder if the newspaper was supported my cigarette ads.

It’s a lot like food. Fresh unprocessed vegetables, whole untreated proteins, etc.
See? She looks pretty good dressed like that.

I heard anecdotally that Native Americans were against Stanford dropping Indians as their mascot.
I didn’t realize Mexicans were stereotyped as fast mice. Or were Mexican mice being stereotyped?

My brain only registers cost as it equates to hours worked at my regular rate.
So I see an object, then that conversion, then I mumble a bit & walk away.

Like “Oh, thats nice. There goes 6 hrs. of my life.”.

I guess there are 2 exceptions
- The partner is genuinely interested in the objects being shopped for (e.g., the couple loves cooking and they are shopping for kitchen equipment)
- The partner wants to see his girlfriend/wife in a certain style of clothing that she’d otherwise never wear
Exceptions: When the item is my decision!
Of course we need a cast iron griddle! The stainless one is [insert bs. rationalization here.].

Cabelas was actually invented by the fashion industry so women can spend money unimpeded by their men, who are content to browse guns, knives and fishing equipment while bad decisions are made elsewhere.

I last a little longer. Always a way to amuse yourself. Examples:
Makeup/Beauty Stores: I like to walk around and look at the marketing trends, position statements, and containers. Lots to learn about psychology and selling products at Ulta and Sephora. Also fun to see how beauty brands are giving women complexes about problems that don’t exist – 17 brands of toe-wrinkle reducer. (I made that up, but I bet some brand will jump on the idea.)
Clothing Stores: If there aren’t any man clothes, I actually like watching my wife try on stuff. She values my opinion and I get to ogle her. Bonus: Walk around the store and find the most tawdry clothes and get her to try them on. She won’t buy them, but I get to see her in a way-too-short leather mini-skirt.

Did you get something nice? Not like NICE! 
, but that you look good and are happy in?
no, buying anything there is like paying an “intelligence tax”
I can get clothes of similar or better quality for 1/10th or less of the price
I also don’t fit in anything
. Call me skeptical…
