Kim: How do you feel about shopping with women? I mean, like, if a
woman is doing that kind of frivolous shopping, as you say? Jeff: I have noticed that I get very tired. This friend of mine said, men go
shopping, and women go sho-o-o-o-opping. Like this. When I go shopping, I have something definitely in mind. I go, I get it, and I'm
out. Kim: That's a very men thing. I think it's a boys' thing. Valerie: Yes, it is.
