Go Sean! I knew you were a Tampax man!

Seriously, what are these men thinking?

"OMG, complete strangers will think I a really butch woman...."

::GASP:: Quel horror!

I don't know. There was a comedian, Rich Scheider maybe, something like that (he did a "Canyon Man" bit), and part of his act was mocking the men who wouldn't buy supplies for their girlfriends and wives. I can only remember him saying something like he was waving them around saying, "I've got a womaaaaaaaaaaaaaan."

Per google, it looks like it was Ritch Shydner.

It made me mad, I mean it was MIDOL. Not like I'd asked him to go in and buy a huge economy size of Kotex and a selection of tampons.

Bec once got me to buy no less than sixteen boxes of tampons for our eight-week vacation. I was not squicked, but I was baffled. I restrained the urge to wave them around, as I think the message might have been "I've got a womaaaaaaaaaaaaaan... With serious issues..."

Turns out they were for a friend of hers in Egypt who was having trouble finding them over there.

Heh. Try being on a naval base in the middle of the Indian Ocean when the ship's store runs out of feminine hygiene products. Rationing tampons? Almost, but fortunately a transport came in with more before it had a chance to get ugly. They did often ration chocolate and soap, though, between shipments.

I've known guys embarassed about buying condoms. If anything were a clearer indication of having a womaaaaaaaaaaan than pads or tampons, it's condoms. What the hell is there to be embarassed about that?

I think in my first weeks of living in Tville, living alone and away from home (an hour away, but still away), I woke up in the middle of the night and discovered that surprise! my period started. And I didn't have anything. This was a small town and I didn't know if anything was open, but luckily there was a 24 hour grocery store.

So I go in, make my purchase, get in the car, start it , and nothing happens. I almost started panicking, but I went back in, asked to use the bathroom, explained my car not starting situation to the cashier and did she know who I could call? By the time I back up front, she'd found an employee who would jump my car.

Soon after that I got rid of the car. I loved that car, a silver Nissan 200ZX. It talked to me. It had a key pad on the door so I never had to fumble with my keys. But it was starting to cost too much in repairs.

I love Dave Foley so much. He cracks me up every time.

Yeah. That sketch is so much funnier when you see him do it.
