Ten Reasons Why

Post by db5 »

Ten Reasons a Woman Always Needs Another Pair of Shoes or a New Purse

If you are married or your life is occupied by an adult female show her this.

1.It’s the latest thing.
2.It’s on sale.
3.If I don’t buy it someone else will.
4.My friend has one almost like it but this one is better.
5.They don’t make this one anymore.
6.I have one almost like it but it is getting old and worn.
7.It goes so well with something I have (purse, shoes, outfit, etc.).
8.I’ve been looking for one just like it for years.
9.It’s too hard to explain and you wouldn’t understand.
10.Just because.





By the way – these are the same reasons you always need something additional for your Shopsmith or tool collection.

Had to chuckle at those ten reasons:cool:

It seems those ten also apply to buying/getting new tools:eek:

Edit: WHOOPS! Just read your "By the Way":o

And the Real Reason

Post by db5 »

11. Added today at lunch with friends when I overheard a woman say, "If I want it I should have it." Don't know what she was talking about as she was at the end of the table. She is an adult, from South America, around 50 and very responsible. She puts up with no crap from her adult children but she expressed a sentiment of many women, and Shopsmith owners as well as spoiled children. If I want it I should have it. A good reason for shoes, purses, more tools - but not for the egregious greed of the up-and-coming (or is it down-and-going) generation today.

Well, add #11 to the list and it is the best of all. "If I want it I should have it." Add this to the list.

Obama did it so maybe you can too.

If it is indeed 'his thread' he can do as he pleases with it!


If he 'wants' to he should be 'allowed' to do so.

You forgot to insert "damn well" between "he" and "pleases". Are you really a native of Kentucky?
