Adventuring in the Aisle of Doom

Guys, you're embarrassing me. I see you all, sneaking around, making your purchases in the dead of night, walking around the mall hunched over and furtive. You might be trying to hide this aspect of your lives from your friends and family but you're only making matters worse. I'm speaking, of course, about how you deal with feminine products.

Try taking the following quiz. No fair asking a woman for help.

Feminine hygiene products are:

a) pastel-colored packs of paper, no big deal.
b) part of a whole weird, icky topic you don't want to even think about, 'cause, eww.
c) demonic harbingers of doom that can jump up and get you (some of them have wings, you know).

I think that's the first time I've ever seen anyone write down the whip-crack sound effect. Pretty good interpretation, I'd say

I agonized over that and even sent it to a few friends to see if they could tell what I was talking about

Relax, guys! When you're comfortable with yourself, nothing you do can affect your masculinity.

You have a new fan, Chris. I was giggling over this column and my mother asked what I was reading - she now wants me to email her the link to all your archived columns. She enjoyed this one immensely.

It's been proven in laboratory tests that you can hold a woman's purse for up to ten minutes before you lose interest in the Super Bowl and start thinking seriously about shoes.

Oh, man!

Anyway, I'm an exception. Once, while walking in the park with two friends of mine, a boy and a girl, I carried the girl's purse for almost half an hour because she was taking photos all the time! And I still don't care about shoes...
