Just to keep the momentum going as I await additional back-issues to be sent to me, here's a piece culled from Dave Whelan that would definitely be considered Manus-worthy.
Ladies, it's simple.
You're in a shoe shop, second in the queue for the till. Behind the shop assistant is a pair of shoes, which you have seen and you must have.
The female shopper in front of you has seen them also and is eyeing them with desire. Both of you have forgotten your purses. It would be rude to push in front of the first woman if you had no money to pay for the shoes.
Your friend is trying on another pair of shoes at the back of the shop and sees your dilemma. She prepares to throw her purse to you.
If she does so, you can catch the purse, then walk round the other shopper and buy the shoes! At a pinch she could throw the purse ahead of the other shopper and "whilst it is in flight" you could nip around the other shopper, catch the purse and buy the shoes!
BUT, you must always remember that until the purse has "actually been thrown", it would be plain wrong for you to be in front of the other shopper.
And now you understand OFFSIDE!
