Crossroads -Nov. 7, 1984 -Page 5
At wit's end
by Erma Bombeck
One by one the mystiques
of men and women are
crumbling. We have done in-
depth psychological studies
on why men like football,
why women buy shoes that
hurt their feet, why men "You need me." The super -
refuse to answer the phone markets are women's Mount
when it rings, and why '-Everest, their Olympic
women go to the restroom in Marathon, their Arm-
ageddon. We're fighting for
our lives.
I knew
derstand.
of trying to get down an aisle
without a cookie reaching
out and whining, "Make me
yours," or a bag of potato
chips jumping into her arms
and whispering sensuously,
twos.
But no one has had the
courage to study how a
woman can go into the
supermarket for a quart of
milk and emerge with two
full shopping carts.
The easy answer is when
women enter a supermarket,
the air becomes thinner and
they black out. When the air
hits them, they are $103.93
thinner than when they went
in;
The real
longer and
history.
Women h
an impala f
answer takes
is more com-
plicated.
First, a little
ave always been
foragers for food. In the
animal kingdom, it is the
female lion
who drags back
or lunch and then
sits there
while the males
stuff themselves before she
gets to eat.
In the days B.S.• (Before
Supermarkets), the men
used to track down some-
thing furry with bad breath
and bring it home to be
cleaned, cooked and served
by the little woman.
When the first general
store came upon the scene,
men (and wisely so) gave the
job back to women. They told
them it would be a social ex-
perience where they could
visit with neighbors, buy a,
piece of candy for the kids, a
length of calico for them-
selves and then .load up the
buckboard with a year's'
provisions.
The supermarket exper-
ience, as we know it today, is
not for sissies. It begins with
the cart delicately
engineered so that .when you
push it forward it runs back-
ward over your foot.
You go from the heat of re-
volving barbecue spits to the
bone-chillingcold of the
frozen, turkeys, to the
humidity of the produce
within seconds. There's a
child seat in the cart where
the child's legs can kick you
in the stomach as you shop.
There's the Garden of Eden
waiting room (at the check-
out) featuring gum, The
National , Inquistion, fresh
flowers, sunglasses and
fresh baked croissants to
tempt you. Aisle upon aisle is
lined with free entry blanks
(win a trip to Florida),
sample pizza and pastrami,
bonus ,coupons, introductory
offers, coupons to be re-
deemed, get one free,. new,
improved, revolutionary,
buy me, try me.
Small wonder women shop
for two hours and get ,home
to find they have nothing
edible to cook for dinner.
When a woman goes into a
supermarket for --a quart of
milk, it's perhaps the
greatest challenge she will
face in her entire life. I
cannot tell you the pleasure

When in the Muskoka
district, I sometimes drop
around to see Jim Tilley and
his homing pigeons. Since I
met him some years ago,
I've always thought of Jim
as "The Birdman of Bala".
Jim and his wife are year-
round residents of the
beautiful little town, and like
others who live there, they
wouldn't budge from Bala.
Besides, Jim has his racing
pigeons. It's their home too.
There were over 60 pigeons
the last time I was there.
They live in a loft behind the
Tilleys' bungalow which is
just down the road from the
OPP offices where Jim was a
maintenance man before he
retired.
It's hardto say how many
pigeons Jim has cared for
over the years. It's a hobby
that began when he was a
boy of ten, and he's never
lost interest in it. I guess Jim
has had some pretty speedy
pigeons. The Tilleys' living
room is packed with trophies
dating back to 1935.
Jim was one of the foun-
ders of the Orillia Homing
Pigeon Club. Like other
clubs, they have weekly
races, transporting the
pigeons to distant points in
Ontario, and then setting
them free.
The club members have
ingenious maps and timing
devices which • enable the
judges to pick the winners_:..
Obviously, the pigeons have
different destinations. They
have just one objective. To
return to their own roosts as
quickly as possible. When a
pigeon arrives home and
enters the roost, it sets off a
small sealed timer. The
timer is then sent to the
judges. The system is fool-
proof.
The Birdman of Bala is an
expert on homing pigeons.
He can tell you innumerable
stories about famous pigeons
in history and how the birds
were man's messengers for
centuries.
But even Jim doesn't know
why they have such a
compulsion to return, home.
"It's .possible," he says,
"that .they want to. get back
to their mates and ' off-
spring."
Whatever it is, they'll/
battle hawks, hail, rain, and
winds to get back to their
base. And most of the time
they make it.
