New Shoes - Brooks

Today the weather is fantastic and I will be wearing a new shoe. Yesterday I bought two new pairs of shoes at the Brooks distributor warehouse. They were a bargain at 50% less than the retail price. The shoe models I bought were: Axiom 4 and Radius.

I am reading a book "The Evolution of Desire- Strategies of Human Mating". There is one funny story ilustrating the difference between men and women. Men are usually aroused by many the sight of many women whereas for women, it is the opposite. The books refers this as the Coolidge effect.

President Calvin Coolidge and his wife visited a government farm one day and were taken around on separate tours. Mrs. Coolidge, passing the chicken pens, inquired of a supervisor whether the roosters copulated more than once a day.

"Yes," the man said. "Dozens of times." "Tell that," Mrs. Coolidge replied, "to the president!"

Some time later the president, passing the same pens, was told about the roosters - and about his wife's remark. "Same hen every time?" he asked. "Oh, no, a different one each time," the supervisor replied. "Tell that," Coolidge said with a sly nod, "to Mrs. Coolidge."
