Shoes, Ships, and Sealing Wax

I'm just sayin'

Not to perpetuate any stereotypes, or to suggest that what applies to me applies to women universally...

...But if I ran the world, drug stores would have a special express line for women buying ibuprofen, heating pads, and tampons. This express line would not be staffed by surly clerks who keep the "register open" light lit while they are "on break." This register would not be open to customers who were purchasing a twenty-year supply of greeting cards for everyone in an extended family.

And most importantly, the clerk in this express line, especially if the clerk is male, would absolutely never ever attempt humorous banter like "Ha, I'm surprised you aren't buying some chocolate too," while taking his sweet time in ringing up the aforementioned purchase.
