The offside rule- an explanation for women!

[Julia]

With the World Cup approaching, this could be very useful advice for some 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 & is eyeing them with
desire. Both of you have forgotten your purses.

It would be totally 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 to be in front of the other shopper!
