The Grocery Noun Rule

RULE: When a wife or mother makes a grocery list and sends a man to the store, the items listed must be solitary nouns. No adjectives. A man can buy pineapples. A man doesn't want to scan for 'crushed' pineapples when only 'chunks' and 'slices' are prevalent. A woman must be satisfied to receive an 'orange' even though she wanted '11 ounces' of 'canned' 'mandarin' oranges. A woman should not complain when she receives an actual coconut instead of a 'bag' of 'shredded' coconut. Men are responsible for bringing home nouns. If a woman wants adjectives, she should take her own trip to the grocery store.
