Who Has Time to Shop For Cards?


Who has time to shop for cards? I'm talking about birthday cards, wedding cards, anniversary cards, etc......

So here's the thing, walk into a pharmacy or a card store, and needless to say, there are a lot of cards to choose from! Different colours, different shapes, different sizes, they sing, they dance, they tell a story, they pop out, they colapse in, they cook you dinner (ok, they don't do that.....yet)!

Bottom line is that there is a ton of selection....but here's the thing! It still only takes men 5 minutes max to find a card. So who has time? Men do!

Women on the other hand....... what a mess! Might as well pack a lunch becasue we're gonna be here a while! Guys..... do not go card shopping with women if you at all value your time! I'd say it takes a minimum of 20 minutes per card.

And women, don't bother asking the chump you brought along if "they like this card". You may as well bring in a tape player that has the line "ya babe, that's a good one" on repeat!

Now you may ask why it takes them so long.... Bottom line is that they are looking for the perfect card that relates to whomever they're buying the card for and the relationship they share with that person.... Most ironic part is that despite how personal they want the card to be, it was written by someone else!! I'd rather a hand written note any day!

All this brings me to one conclusion. Despite how often women preach "it's the thought that counts" it's obviosly not the case. Guys can pick out any card in 5 minutes and it doesn't matter because "it's the thought that counts"! Obviously not the case with women because to them it's "whatever someone else wrote on this card is what counts"!

Guys, if you happen to get dragged into a pharmacy with a girl, let's hope it's to pick up tampons.... Although you may suffer from a lack of dignity, atleast you get to keep your precious time!

A girl would be happier if a guy wrote something in his own words on a torn piece of paper than buying a $5 crappy card,
