One For Girls.....

Imagine you are in your fave clothes store, queueing in single file, the girl in front of you doesnt have her purse and, to your dismay, you dont have yours.

A solution is that your friend towards the back of the queue is offering to throw her purse to you. You cant queue jump until the purse has been thrown to you.

Once the purse has been thrown you can quickly dodge the girl in front then confront the girl on the desk.

Thats right girls........

THE OFFSIDE RULE IN A LANGUAGE YOU CAN UNDERSTAND!!!!!

Now dont interrupt us footie fans for the next 4 weeks..........

Only joking........    :)

Anybody catch the 'Hawks/Flyers game last night?  That was the most painfully anticlimatic  Stanley Cup series win I've ever seen.  Overtime at that!  And Philly fans?  You kind of sucked.  Bad sports.

What example would you use to explain to the people in USA ?  Queueing for hamburgers ?

footie fans ?

I thought you are talking about Footsie 100 !

Thanks. :D Does this mean that unless the striker has the ball, there must always be the GK and another defender between him and the goals? Once he gets the ball, he can move past the second defender?

I know you are joking but being an ex footballer myself i know all about the different permatations of the offside rule

Or the same example, since people in the USA buy clothes too, believe it or not. Granted, they may or may not be larger in size and may come from Wal-Mart/the Thrift Store/overpriced stores like Hollister, but then again, it's not like there aren't junk food snarfin' white trash folks in other parts of the world. Your generalisations are inane and are not amusing.

I wonder which raw nerve did I hit - the people of USA or the hamburgers ?  This is weird :-)

Almost. As soon as the ball *is in the process of being passed* i.e. has left the foot of the person passing it, you can move past the second defender.
