In preparation for the World Cup, the "offside rule" explained for women:

You're in a shoe shop, second in the queue for the till. Behind the
Shop assistant on the till is a pair of shoes which you have seen and which you must have.

The female shopper in front of you has seen them also and is eyeing
them with desire. Both of you have forgotten your purses. It would be rude to push in front of the first woman if you had no money to pay for the shoes.

The shop assistant remains at the till waiting.

Your friend is trying on another pair of shoes at the back of the shop
and sees your dilemma. She prepares to throw her purse to you. If she does so, you can catch the purse, then walk round the other shopper and buy the shoes!

At a pinch she could throw the purse ahead of the other shopper and "whilst it is in flight" you could nip around the other shopper, catch the purse and buy the shoes!

BUT, you must always remember that until the purse has "actually been
thrown", it would be plain wrong for you to be in front of the other
shopper and you would be OFFSIDE!

:rolleyes:

if it's a repost, i'll be surprised
 
This is just sexist and not amusing in the slightest. And it's incentivising women to waste time shopping when they could be in the kitchen.

Shame on you sir, shame on you.
 
If Megzy posts in here we can use that as the reason for it being locked to save Sic the embaressment I guess, but I think the thread title's too long for her :p

plus I seem to remember reading that women who watch football are generally better at explaining and understanding than men apparently :o
