Let's see how controversial this is. I have an argument both for and against this:
Handbags (Portable Hand Skips)
Now a handbag once gave me the hope of a threesome with a gorgeous stripper. One drunken evening (how a good tale always starts), an ex and I stumbled into a strip club, ordered a drink, realised our mistake but sat down anyway at the side of the stage.
A stripper came from the side door and asked us to watch her handbag while she stripped on stage. When she returned (after her act) in the nuddy she sat with us and had a few drinks. Now all of a sudden I had hope, and hope is all it ended up being but still I had hope of taking this stripper home and having a fabulous threesome.
Now on the flip side, handbags have given me so much day to day grief, from having to hold the other halfs handbag on a stumble home, or get stuck holding the damn thing in shops while she tries on outfits, or being stood queuing in a shop while the old dear in front empties the entire contents of the portable skip looking for the elusive 7 pence she swears was in there yesterday.
Ladies have you ever heard of the invention of pockets?
And don't justify the handbag as being somewhere to hold your purse when you're wearing a dress....... because all men know that if there is an occasion to wear the said dress, we're going to be the ones paying for the evening and that that purse is never going to make an appearance throughout the night.
Too much?
