To help women enjoy the World Cup

[Bazf]

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 totally 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.
>
>
>
>Always remembering that until the purse had *actually been thrown* it would
>be plain wrong to be forward of the other shopper.

Very sexist post BazF - not all women see shopiing as the be all and end all!

While this has helped me to understand the offside rule a little better....it will not enhance my enjoyment of the world cup....I am still going to find it incredibly tedious. I can see the computer becoming a very good friend during the time the footy is on.
