Recently Sharon(Sharon is wode piao liang taitai.Go look that one up.) and I were watching TV. Commercials came on and realizing that I could not fast forward because we were watching live and not DVR, I picked up the newspaper. A shoe commercial came on for DSW and suddenly I heard "oohs!" and "ahs!" and "oh how cute's!". As a dutiful husband I lent my support with a couple of appropriately timed "mmhmms", while continuing my reading. I learned this technique from a psychiatrist who told me "A couple of well placed mmhmms makes a patient think that I'm listening and that I care, when I've actually already written a prescription and am deciding where to go for dinner".
Anyway, Sharon turned to me and said "You don't understand - this is my porn"!
I had to think about this for a while. The analogy was interesting. It seems that shoes are to women as boobs are to men!
After a little more thinking, I must say it doesn't seem fair to men. After all shoes get to be on the outside.
