 Black Friday - Scourge of the male gender
posted by Dante on 12.1.2003 - 6:29 pm
First: to clarify for those who are unaware, 'Black Friday' is a name applied to the Friday following Thanksgiving. Joke holds that most retail outlets are operating in the red until the day after Thanksgiving, when they finally turn a profit. This is a truly horrible day. I am sure there are legions of souls out there, men who were forced out of a tryptophan induced coma before the sun was even a glimmer on the horizon. Emasculated souls, forced to stand in line at some retail purgatory so that someone could be one of the first 100 shoppers through the door. A feat that 364 days out of the year is insignificant, but on this day yields some trinket of only marginal value. The opening of the doors is only the start of the nightmare, as craven lunatics tear through the store, a frenzy that causes me to doubt that sharks are truly the perfect killing machines.
Here's my thoughts on the subject, if Sears is opening at 5 in the freakin' morning this year, the bars should open at 4. Black Friday should be an honorary sex holiday. Women, if you dragged your man on a 12 hour death march on Friday, I hope you had the common decency to do something special for him. If the mall in your town was anything like the malls around here, he earned it.
