To Bill, Jon et al, My wife often says that if men had the first child, there would be only one child per family!
I might suggest that women's brains are numb to pain where new shoes are involved. Within a couple of weeks they need a new pair because the last pair did not fit! As for the constant outlay on shoes, - It gets me right in the wallet! Oops, flame shields activated!
