So what do we call the shoulder bags carried by men? Man Bags? Murses (Man-Purse)?

I call my shoulder bag exactly that, because that's what it is. I also call it my kit. My sister likes to call it my purse (to try getting my goat). My wife calls it my Man Bag.

At a family gathering, someone was having fun with me, and reminded me not to forget my purse. I replied it could not possibly be my purse because it didn't match my shoes. The women all laughed and said I was a good sport. The men looked at each other quizzically.

Who cares about the men, anyway? I care about impressing the women, which I did, especially mine. My wife said, "Nice comeback, honey." <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
