Buy em with a bottle of hot-sauce. Tell cashier that you plan on "pranking" your GF.

Jeebus. The thought of potential repercussions from a mere joking hint of that......my blood runs cold.

It's tough. You're either buying them for a) your mother, or b) your gf.

If a) you're a hopeless loser who lives in the basement and gets made to do chores because he doesn't have a job or a life. If b) sure there's that weird boost you get from women being more attracted to men who are taken, but there's also the fact that you're pathetic and whipped.

If you're married, you just do what you need to do and who cares what the cashier thinks.

Or you're buying them for your 14-year old daughter who is currently curled up around a heating pad, and desperate! BTDT.

That last line I wrote should cover it. Ah, just thought of something- maybe I should change it to "If you're married or divorced, you just do..."

A few years back when my great uncle was dying of lung cancer, I had to run my cousin to Wal-Mart because she didn't really have time to pack before rushing home from California, and needed some essentials. Amongst the items she picked up was a box of tampons & a bottle of pre-natal vitamins. (She says they help boost hair & nail growth) My comment while placing stuff on the checkout conveyer was, "I'm sure the cashier will be thinking that, one way or the other, my weekend is shot."

I carry a zippo with the innards stripped and filled with compressed cotton balls soaked in vaseline. (no wick) The striker and flint lights these up like nothing, and gets a fire started way better than a zippo with fluid does.

The ladies do look at me weird when I start pulling wadding from a zippo when they ask for a light.
