They gave this a big play (as you might expect) on the local TV news last night. They didn't explain if the "Man Isle" (rather than 'aisle') was ironic or what, but I'm assuming it was not by mistake.
They also said diet soda tampons and other "chick stuff" were banned.
Of course, some of us guys have been doing the grocery shopping since forever.

Jeff...That's the Aisle of Man
Posted by: Betsy | July 27, 2012 at 09:49 AM
What will be in the "Woman Aisle"? An acre of items with no price tags and no obvious utility?

JSG, the woman aisles are all the other aisles.
Works on the same principle as Black History Month.

They still had to hire a couple of women so they should tell the guys where the man aisle is located and then to show them where their items were on the shelf. Their main job is saying things like, "The Dorito's are right in front of you. No, not there in front of you! Look up and then look straight ahead. Now do you see them? IN FRONT OF YOU!"

Better than having to call for clean-up in the man aisle, ligirl.
Posted by: Meanie the Blue | July 27, 2012 at 11:51 AM
They have special carts called recliners with remotes.

Condoms and steak sauce...? Wouldn't catsup, mustard and relish be more appropriate...?

Jeff, "diet soda tampons"?
Is there something the ladies are doing that I don't want to know any more about?
Posted by: wiredog | July 27, 2012 at 12:03 PM
This will be the aisle where a 21 year-old babe-in-bikini will be handing out food samples.

I love going to the grocery store. I'm usually there to pick up more than groceries. A glance at what's in a chick's cart and you know if she's single, single with kids, single with a boyfriend, or single and looking.
And the opening lines just present themselves. "So, just what are you going to do with that proscuitto . . .?" And BOOM! Off and running.

Whatever you do, never mix up the two items listed. You will never live it down.

As a
whippedliberated man of the 20th century, I've been buying my wife's tampons for years. I have no problem with it. I have the easy part. Late run to the store for tampons and chocolate. I get a lot of knowing looks from men and women alike.Posted by: JD | July 27, 2012 at 02:36 PM
JD, the men who look are envious - "she trusts him to buy the right brand".
Posted by: DrPat | July 27, 2012 at 03:46 PM
The only food is steak, potatoes, bacon and beer.
Posted by: Loudmouth | July 27, 2012 at 04:27 PM
This is hard for me to do but earlier I insinuated that men couldn't find anything. Today I looked for my glasses for an hour before I finally found them on the table where I had left them last night. While looking I found 5 pair of lost reading glasses and 3 pair of lost scissors. So, I was
wronga little hasty with my remark. I'msorrygoing to be more careful in the future. However I'm not ruling out the possibility that someone stole them and brought them back while I was in another room.Posted by: nursecindy | July 27, 2012 at 04:50 PM
Yabbut if they run a Manx blue light special it will be overrun with females.

Wiredog, and alert to resident medical professional, nursecindy,
Actually "diet soda tampons" could serve two functions, but you will have to ask nursecindy about the second possible function IFYWIM nursecindy.

Mikey I'm not sure about any medical functions but The Diet Soda Tampons wbagnfarb. I'm a little upset right now. I had an electrician come over because the power wasn't working in my guest bathroom. The light bulbs were burned out and the fan is broken. I paid $100 to get two light bulbs changed. I blame the heat. No blog guy better even think about laughing at me.
Posted by: nursecindy | July 27, 2012 at 06:04 PM
nursecindy,
As a
whippedliberated man of the 20th century, I wouldn't dream of laughing at you. Sounds like you could use some chocolate.Posted by: JD | July 27, 2012 at 06:27 PM
nc, the obvious solution was to simply let your guests deal with darkness. Amiright, guys?
Posted by: Just Some Guy | July 27, 2012 at 06:30 PM
Thanks JD. JSG, next time I'll put a decorative flashlight in the bathroom.
