[HPFGU-OTChatter] unattractive accessories

[peabwain]

Here is a funny story I found in my sisters online
diary. I told her to post it on this list, but she
wouldnt. So I did it. 

Over the weekend I found out that my husband is a
girl. 
Jeff has this annoying habit of choosing... err...
really unattractive accessories. He got a new digital
camera for his birthday, and he loves it and thats
great, but he wants to take it everywhere, and he
chooses to haul it around in a fanny pack. I refuse to
be seen with him when hes wearing it. It was ok for
him to wear it when we were on vacation at Disneyland,
because fanny packs are more of a touristy thing and a
camping thing, but not a thing to wear around the town
you *live* in. And even worse, it was bright green,
because you know, bright green goes with everything!
<rolls eyes>. 
I told this husband of mine that if he really wanted
to take his camera with him everywhere,  we could get
him a nice camera bag to put it in. That way he
wouldnt be so horribly socially unacceptable. And if
we couldnt find a nice camera bag, wed find him a
lovely purse.
We go to Wal-Mart, and looked at camera bags for him,
but he didnt like any of them. They dont have
enough pockets he tells me. For your lipstick and
perfume?? I said. It seems he is determined to get a
fanny pack.  

So Im thinking that since people use fanny packs for
camping, fishing, and that sort of thing, they would
be in the sporting section. I asked the salesman if
they sold fanny packs there.  He looked at me kinda
funny, as if I was speaking a different language, and
told me Yeah, but theyre in the womens section...
by the purses. I looked at Jeff and said I *TOLD* 
you it was a purse!! We walked away and as soon as we
turned the corner the salesman burst out laughing. 

Well... (to make a short story really long), he found
himself a nice black one with *enough* pockets. He
doesnt like to call it a fanny pack, because its
offensive he says. So he calls it  his mansack. Oh
yeah! <rolls eyes again> Mansack is MUCH better! 
Peabwain--who knows that her sister is going to stop
buying her tasty snacks when she finds out I've posted this.
