    Default Shopping for a husband?

    http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmp...ance_dating_dc

    Lafayette Gourmet, the food hall at the Galeries Lafayettes department store in Paris, is about to unleash the concept on the worldwide capital of romance.

    Single shoppers will be identified on Thursday evenings by special purple shopping baskets decorated with a cartoon of a kissing couple, and offered a glass of champagne and a free photograph if they succeed in hooking up with a potential mate.

    "We noticed that we have an evening clientele buying single portions of fresh food, so we decided the demand is there," Lafayette Gourmet Director Sylvain Gaudu told Reuters.
    I noticed there are a lot of women with curlers in their hair. Maybe we should have a beauty salon at the checkouts while you wait too.

    You just know this will be a hit. They should do this at laundromats too.

    Shopping for a good hubby is very expensive and the training is very time consuming...... Aren't you glad we're done Sara ????
    Well training continues even after 14 years, but the shopping is done........
