Shopping

The Christmas season is a bountiful opportunity to witness humans in action, most often in shopping centers... like Vincent Park.

I was watched a man looking at cricket bats... at Game.  First up.  Who buys a cricket bat from Game?  *Alarm bells*.  We've all seen it, and before my illusions of 'having ball skills' were shattered, I may have done similar.

Cricket bat selection process:

Step 1: Pick up prospective bat, hold it upright... twist hands on grip and shake. (Determine construction integrity of bat)
Step 2:  Play mock forward defensive.
Step 3: Repeat Step 1. (determine whether hitting the illusionary ball has damaged bat?!)
Step 4: Purse lips, glance around.  Play mock cover drive.
Step 5: Replace bat on shelf. (Satisfied, well aware that you're not sure of anything despite rigorous testing.)
Step 6: Go and buy the toaster you originally came to Game for.
