AND I DID SO
Frankly, I don't like shopping around for hats, shoes and
blouses nor hunt down suits, gloves or I don't know what.
That's my wife who likes to stack up heaps of that stuff,
carry on with her shopping and jack me up to do that. So
last time I heard: "Darling, we're going out for a bit of
shopping to see what's cooking, and we'll call for my new
hat, I guess," And we did so.
Everything was going on, my wife was frittering away
my money, we settled on the last trifle, when a guy popped
up out of nowhere offering a pair of leather shoes: "The
leather won't shrivel up and they'll hold up for good." —
he said.
"Darling, fork the last 20 $ over." And I did so.
Frankly, they didn't hold up at all. "I've been ripped off,
they traded on my credulity!" — my wife keeps saying.
"OK. It will make you hold out for the next shopping."
"Pipe down!" And I did so.
