I think I'll buy a pink satchel to cure my problem

19 August 2004

Question.

So... if you're a woman. And you're carrying a satchel - you know, one of those over the shoulder bag doo dads - and you want to sling it crosswise over your chest for ease of walking (for example if you walk a mile and a quarter to work), what is the proper way to sling?

Imagine with me for a minute, men - this is truly one of the great mysteries of the universe (not completely unlike the mystery of how women bend over to pick up anything off the ground in a mini-skirt, or how we manage to walk in 4 inch spike heels): Does the strap criss-crossing your torso go between your breasts? Perhaps it goes above them. Oh ridiculousness imagining trying to get the strap below them. Heh.

This is a real cunnundrum people.

Variables include size and type of satchel. Material of satchel. Size of chest. Weight of satchel (if it's light enough you can carry over one shoulder, thus eliminating problem, end of story).

Annnnnnnnnnnnnnnnddddd.... GO people! I'm looking for real, solid answers! None of those baby answers. Bring it on. Hop to it. Many, many thanks.

Also... this is a PSA people. When you sneeze, try to sneeze in to a tissue or a the VERY least your hand. Cuz when you do one of those big wet sneezes, where your lips flap, where spray goes all over your monitor, where you have to wipe your mouth afterwards... I beg of you to please, please, please cover your mouth. Something. FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT'S HOLY DO ANYTHING!!!

*anxiously awaiting the answer to one of life's great mysteries*

After many minutes of heavy contemplation, I have decided that you need to invest in one of these.
