Acting Like a Woman
My wife and I decided to attend a 'smoke sale' at Bowring Brothers on Water Street, St. John's. When we arrived at the store there was a long line, mainly women, waiting for the doors to open. As soon as the doors opened, there was a rush forward to get into the store to reach the clothes on sale. I was jostled by several women trying to reach the items they wanted. I soon realized that for me to get any of the bargains on sale, I would have to be as aggressive as the women. When I reached for a shirt, the woman in front of me turned around, glared at me and said, "Why don't you act like a man?" "Lady,"I replied, "I've been acting like a man all morning and I've got nothing. Now I'm going to act like a woman!" -Carl Smith CBS, NL Submitted By: NULL
