Where do you go to buy Man anymore? I can’t find it in any of the local grocery stores, just that damn Soylent Green stuff. 😉 ---

I can’t believe that this is a serious question. Really? You can’t find a “neutral” bag? You are not looking very hard. This is not a condemnation of the OP or a slam. It’s just a fact. ---

I think at the novelty store, you can get bags with pictures of penises on them. You’re right to worry, because if a man carries groceries or anything in a bag that looks feminine, he will immediately become impotent. Why do you think the rise (excuse the expression) of Viagra has coincided with the introduction of reusable grocery bags in the United States? In the 70’s and 80’s we used plastic bags willy (so to speak)-nilly (or maybe, “nelly”) and sex was rampant, as were all men. Nobody was impotent then!! 'Nuff said. ---

I put the heaviest thing on my shoulder and stack everything else on top of it. Doesn’t really work though unless you start with like a 30-50lb bag of rice or dog food. ---

I found that having a big ol’ sack of my own eliminated any worries about whether or not my grocery bags were too sissy. ---
