Shopping By Text Message...A Way Of Life For Husbands Everywhere

 These are two pictures I've used lately while grocery shopping, only two examples of how I have successfully completed a grocery shopping errand.

Yeah, I know...

Pretty pathetic.

I should know what I'm supposed to be buying. Those tortilla for example. We've only purchased that one brand for probably a decade. I saw it, threw one in the cart, but decided to pick it up and snap a quick picture of the package and texted my wife just to be sure.

I did the same thing with the chips...

Just to be sure.

For both instances, I punted. I relied on the expertise of an expert--my wife. I know it's not politically correct, but my wife has chosen those items (and thousands of others...) since we've been married over thirty years ago. And because I am not the primary shopper/chooser in the household, I wanted to make sure my choices were right before I bought them and brought them home.

I saw something years ago that showed a "Shopping List for Husbands." It was just a bunch of photos of the things the husband was to buy. It was supposed to be funny, but...

I thought it was genius.

Perhaps not all husbands resort to this method of shopping, but I know I do, and I don't see me stopping anytime soon.

Sarcasm Society...Identifying Geniuses Among Us

*

I'm not good at snark. It's why I can't really fully participate in Twitter. I have friends who do, one in particular who tweets a lot, especially about U of U sports. I follow him. I laugh (usually...) at what he posts and what he retweets, but i just can't get into it.

Or, better stated, I'd love to get into it more, but I'm just not good enough.

Maybe it's because I don't have thick skin. Maybe it's because the damage that can be done from a simple tweet is unbelievable, whether it's on purpose or not. Don't think so--google Justine Sacco.

But even though I'm not good at snark, I do enjoy it when it's well done and not attacking (too much...). Case in point, I ran across a website today called Sarcasm Society. You can find their homepage: HERE. I just found this site today and I only looked at one article, but it was fantastic!

You can go to that article: HERE. I admit, the first photo is not the best, but many had me chuckling, out loud, even. A lot of the pictures focus on college life and a lot focus on beer (are the two related--perhaps...). But most are hilarious.

What does sarcasm have to do with Twitter? If you don't know, you don't know Twitter.
