The Eleventh Commandment

Never go shopping with women. It strongly convinces you - those who underwent medieval torture were the lucky ones. The history of the world may have been different if Germany had invented malls in the 1940s, and ordered their POWs to shop with their women.

Mall shopping is the worst of the lot. Now, you have hundreds of stores crammed into one little place, where women can merrily wander around, with you in tow. What's the torture part you ask? Well, for starters, no shop seems to have chairs for men to rest their tired legs. Secondly, "shopping" to women is not the same as shopping to men. Shopping to men essentially means buying things which you need/want. Shopping to women is essentially the process of looking around for things that they may need. It is the seemingly pointless wandering around that is shopping - it's the journey, not the destination. Ironically, most women then cannot understand how men watch a game which can stretch for five days and have no result! (At least there's Lunch and Tea!)

This also answers another age old question - why do men never ask for directions? The answer is simple, those directions proabably lead to a mall somewhere!
