Last night's date, and my theory on big purses...

So last night I had a fun little date planned.

Here was the agenda:
1-) Dinner at The Counter in SLC.  I had a two for one coupon.  Brit knows how I am with coupons.  She is completely cool with me using them, in fact, she encourages it.  YES!

2-) Movie at Megaplex @ The Gateway.  I had prescreening passes to see "The Blind Side" with Sandra Bullock, which I have been excited about seeing.  Free tickets.  Brit is cool with that, in fact, she encourages it.  YES!

Well, come to find out, The Counter is closed.  For good.  Where are we going to eat?  Luckily, I keep a stash of coupons in my middle console, for situations just like this.  We found one for the "Salt Lake Burger Company" which turned out to be great.  Go there.  Get a Garlic Burger, with Bacon.  You won't regret it.  Ive never been more excited about the amount of bacon I have recieved for $0.99 ever.  It was more than you get for $3 at IHOP. And better too.  Brit really enjoyed hers as well.  Good times.

So next, we are headed to Century Salt Lake theatres on 33rd south.  That's right, I planned on going to the Gateway.. But guess who messed up?  ME.  Haha.  We tried to get in line for he movie, but, apparently it was sold out, so, I let Brit choose the movie. 

"Paranormal Activity."  "Um. Brit.  That's rated R."  "I don't care."  "Yes you do Brit.  You never once have seen a modern day rated R movie with me."  "But it looks so scary."  "Alright, but, I am going to make you watch I love you man with me."

In hindsight, I probably should have thought longer about what rated R movie I would make Brit watch, but, I Love You, Man isn't a bad choice.  There are just so many awesome ones I'd love to share.  Haha.

Anyway... We go to a little place called Smart Cookie to pass the time, and get ice cream.  The total is $3 for our ice cream - cookie sandwich.  I grab my wallet, she grabs her purse.  I pay.

Next, we go to the movie..  2 for Paranormal Activity.. $16... I grab for my wallet... She grabs for her purse.  I pay. "I would have paid!"

That's when it hit me.  It all makes so much sense.

Girls have big purses and gaudy wallets so that they don't have to pay for things.

You heard it here first.  My wallet takes me roughly 5 seconds to remove from my pocket, open, & pull my checkcard out of.  It takes a girl 5 seconds to get situated enough to even grab her purse.  Then another 5 seconds to open it enough to look inside.  15 seconds to find the wallet, 5 seconds to open that, another 10 to find the right card.  By this time, I have already signed the payment slip.

"I would have paid!"  Sure you would have.

I'm almost scared that I have figured this out.  I feel like I've discovered a great conspiracy.  I wouldn't be surprised if this blog is deleted tomorrow by some "Unknown" womens organization.  I'm starting to think that it's not even chivalrous to pay for a woman.  It's just... Natural.  We've become so accustomed to it, that it actually just feels right.

That, or I am just a really nice, gentlemanly guy.  Ha.  Yeah.  It's the purse thing.

Anyway... I paid, We watched the movie, we played a little arcade mario kart (which I won at... So much for gentlemanly) And then the date was over.

I liked the movie, I guess.  Or maybe I didn't.  I don't know.  It's a good date movie.  Plus I love the F word, so, with, "About 39 F-words, 2 obscene hand gestures" according Kidsinmind.com, I'll give it a C.  Had me on the edge of my seat for part of it, but, mostly because I was waiting for more F words. 

Haha.  I'm not too happy with this post. I thought it was going to be funnier.  You should comment and tell me how funny I am.  I could use the confidence boost.
