Gary:?
Here is what I think, based on the above and having seen what good tastes Lynn has in clothes.
In Economics 101 the most common supply-demand chart is guns vs. butter.? You can't have lots of butter for the people if you are making lots of guns.
I think Lynn is realizing one of the derivatives of Econ 101, and that is the supply-demand chart for shoes vs. skis.? You can buy multiple pair of skis, or you can buy multiple pair of SHOES.? I predict, therefore, that just as the country is diverting resources to guns and away from butter that we are likely to hear Lynn talking about new pairs of shoes before we hear her talking about new pairs of skis.? It's a "Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus" sort of thing.? We brag about our quivers of skis, but investment in skis pales in comparison to investment in shoes??? ??
Ask yourself, would Lynn rather have a pair of Vision Vapors for $300 sitting in the garage or a new pair of (name a fancy shoe) high heeled pumps sitting there in the bottom of the closet for her to admire every day.? Sexist?? Maybe, but I rest my case.
Sincerely,
Prof. Jim
PS. And, to quote Ron, I'm going to really get blasted for this one.
Well Prof. Jim
You are ALMOST correct. But ALMOST is pretty far away from ABSOLUTELY!!
SHOES: Yes, I NEEDED a pair of high heels of the somewhat highend glittery type. And yes, I did happen to mention to Jim this need in a "wedding of sons", conversation. And here I thought we had bonded over the costs of ones child getting hitched.
Just so you all know that I am serious about bargain shopping. The absolutely beautiful Guiseppe, Zanotti shoes that were originally $590, were acquired by yours truly for $192.? THAT LEAVES $300 left over for NEW (ish) skis. (Because I saved $300 on the shoes, see???)
AND, if I 'save' anymore money on acquiring further shoes ('cause? I am changing outfits after the ceremony to my dancing dress, which requires a totally different shoe!), then I can add THOSE savings to my new(ish) skis!!
Flawless logic, would you not agree, my fellow ski brethern?
Now before any of you go and think"gee only a woman would think that way". I happen to know men do it too. Just with other things. Like bikes, golf clubs, tennis racquets, CARS!!
Oh and RON does it compulsively with skis!! It is high art the way he does it. I aspire to his level.
I rest my case.
