Coupons

“It was awful, Meredith! Just awful!” Matthew threw the groceries onto the counter.

“Why? What’s wrong, honey?”

“I was at the checkout, and I told the young man there that I had some coupons. Well, he just laughed. I asked him what was so funny, and he said, ‘Only women use coupons.’ Only women?! It’s not like I cut them out of the Sunday paper. They printed them out for me last time I was there. It’s like wasted money not to use them. That’s not womanly. That’s just smart! Right?”

“Oh, Matthew,” Meredith gave a sympathetic sigh, “men aren’t smart.”
