Go Shopping

...during THE BUSIEST shopping day in AMERICA!

Husband: "O-o-of COURSE not, sweetie-pie."
(Now the woman withdrawals a long and lethal-looking 'Therapy Device')
Woman Holding Bag: "Don't make me use this."
Husband: (Eyes Dangerous Device) "WHAT?! You're joking…I mean, it was just a little..."
Woman Holding Bag: (Said with a straight face) "I'm not really fussy where I stick this you know."
Husband: "Ahhhh..."
