Quotable Quotes: Shopping
by Miki Saxon
Shopping may not be exactly the kind of subject matter you expect when you visit, but you have to admit it’s timely.
Although not everybody loves it, “I hate shopping. If I need something, even a pair of socks, my assistant has to get them for me. I hate shopping!” The quote is anonymous, but it could be my sister, except she doesn’t have an assistant.
Shopping serves many purposes.
Tammy Faye Bakker, she of the four-inch false eyelashes, thinks shopping is therapeutic, “I always say shopping is cheaper than a psychiatrist.”
I’ve seen many comparisons of shopping and sex, but Adrienne Gusoff’s is one of the funniest, “Shopping is better than sex. If you’re not satisfied after shopping you can make an exchange for something you really like.”
Shopping is different for women and men as pointed out by Elayne Boosler, “When women are depressed, they eat or go shopping. Men invade another country. It’s a whole different way of thinking.”
I think men should learn to eat or go shopping, but as Cynthia Nelms so wisely says, “If men liked shopping, they’d call it research.” That’s OK, research beats war any day.
Then there is Usher, who is either more introspective or more honest than most men, “I was so nervous…I just had to go shopping”
And with just nine more shopping days nervous is what a lot of you probably are, so go shopping.
