The pound of bacon?

"Evidence of tightening global food supplies grew as the U.S. Agriculture Department cut its estimates for global harvests of key crops and raised some demand forecasts, adding to worries about rising food prices." From the WSJ.com

Wall Street Journal

A friend of mine was recently featured in a Wall Street Journal article concerning Christmas gifts for spouses, in particular, female spouses. Here is a quick snippet from the article.

"It's simple, really. Sometimes men aren't listening to their wives. But just as often, women aren't clear about their desires. They want men to pick up on their subtle clues, rather than telling them outright what they'd like. As one woman I know explains, "It means we are special to them if they detect what we want without us telling them."

I feel for ya buddy! If the ladies want to be subtle, use a bat! Otherwise you will get what you get. Also, encourage Victoria's Secret and Anne Taylor to provide free whiskey shots for all purchases over $50! Just imagine the "stimulation" this would create!

Don't loose too much sleep over it though, I got my wife nose hair clippers for Christmas one year and she still loves me!
