Hello! i was just wondering.........Why do men always blame women for spending all the money?  I mean usally it`s the other way around.
ok..ok..i`m done.
P.S. I like your muffins!

Dear Tina,

Not all men are such idiots.  A good deal of us are, but not all.  I'll let you in on a little secret.  Men point out how much women spend to avoid anyone noticing the fact that men spend just as much, if not more than women.  

I felt this question finally needed to be addressed, seeing as how Black Friday is just hours from starting (here in Alaska anyway). It is perhaps the scariest of all calendar days, and is a prime example of the similiarities between the sexes when it comes to spending money, but it brings up an even more important issue which I will address.  If you look at the lines of people waiting for great Black Friday deals, they are comprised of women and men, and children, and sometimes dogs and even... lawn chairs.  That's right, lawn chairs.  I bet you never thought about lawn chairs.  No one really does.  Tina, you've broken down spending into 2 categories: men and women.  But I think there is a greater issue here.  (you probably thought I would have moved past the lawn chair issue already but no.)  LAWN CHAIRS!

What is the one thing that keeps the die-hard men and women standing out in the freezing cold outside stores just to get good deals on tube socks and superfluous home electronics comfortable!?  (whew, that was a mouthful)  THAT'S RIGHT... lawn chairs.  Those unassuming lawn chairs make up a startling 56% of the American population.  That's not even a fact, that's just what I know about lawn chairs.  They are a silent menace that lurks in closets and garages, waiting to be let out at strategic moments like barbeques, tailgate parties, and waiting in lines outside of stores on game launch days... and yes... even Black Friday.  I know you may think this sounds crazy, but believe me, there is probably evidence somewhere to back me up.  

You see Tina, lawn chairs are the real money-waisters.  When unassuming men and women aren't paying attention, the lawn chairs stealthily steal their cash and credit cards right from under their noses.  They then wait for mad rushes into the store by their eager owners and then they pounce.  They snatch up all the good deals before you can blink.  

I could go on about lawn chairs for a long time, but perhaps it isn't the best option.  After all, they can read as well, and if they find this they'll know I'm on to them.

So, Tina, this probably didn't answer your question at all.  My only hope is that it has enlightened you to a situation that is going on right under your nose.

P.S. I'm not sure what you're insinuating when you say you like my "muffins", but I am flattered and can only return the compliment.
