Explaining Offside Rule to Women

You're in a shoe shop, second in line for the register. Behind the shop assistant on the counter 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 and 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 register 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 around the other shopper and buy the shoes.

Or she could throw the purse ahead of the other shopper and, "whilst it is in flight", you could dart 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 completely wrong to be in front of the other shopper.

NOW DO YOU GET IT?

Joke circulating online after two U.K. soccer commentators were suspended for off-camera remarks including "women do not understand the offside rule".
