With the football/soccer World Cup looming on the horizon, many of you female type women may be wondering what all this "offside" rule is about.
How does it work? Will I ever be able to understand it?" Will it affect the way that those muscular thighs flex, when the man is running after the ball?"
Well, I have now composed a simple explanation, presented in a manner that will be immediately understood by all you fine ladies.
THE OFFSIDE RULE EXPLAINED FOR WOMEN.
You're in a shoe shop, second in the queue for the till.
Behind the shop assistant on the till is a pair of shoes which you have seen and which you must have.
The female shopper in front of you has seen them also and is eyeing them with desire. Both of you have forgotten your purses.
It would be rude to push in front of the first woman if you had no money to pay for the shoes. The shop assistant remains at the till waiting.
Your friend is trying on another pair of shoes at the back of the shop and sees your dilemma. She prepares to throw her purse to you.
If she does so, you can catch the purse, then walk round the other shopper and buy the shoes! At a pinch she could throw the purse ahead of the other shopper and "whilst it is in flight" you could nip around the other shopper, catch the purse and buy the shoes!
BUT, you must always remember that until the purse has "actually been thrown", it would be plain wrong for you to be in front of the other shopper and you would be OFFSIDE!
Don't forget to cheer on those boys with the three lions on their shirt!
HOORAH!
What if you don't make an attempt to play the purse?
