All this song and dance about one lousy carpet? You see, you run into all these problems because you are not a woman. If you were, you would have gone about it the RIGHT way which is as follows: (1) make at least ten trips to each store, (2) visit at least ten stores, (3) talk (if possible) with at least ten salespersons at each store, (4) change mind at least ten times, and after buying it (5) have second thoughts at least ten times, then (6) blame spouse at least ten times for rushing things!

for an avid reader of dawn...i expected you to know your jalalabads;)

i can be faulted for thinking the beltway is on mars and foggy-bottom in some other galaxy…but jalalabad in pakistan?…next you will say kashmir is…astaghfirallah!
