I Am Acting Like a Lady

One day when women's dresses were on sale at the FarEast Department Store, a dignified middle-aged man decided to get his wife a piece. But he soon found himself being battered by frantic women.

He stood it as long as he could; then, with head lowered and arms flailing, he plowed through the crowed.

You there! challenged a thrill voice. Can't you act like a gentleman?

Listen, he said, I have been acting like a gentleman for an hour. From now on, I am acting like a lady.
