It’s in the bag …..
The origin of the phrase ‘in the bag’ comes from the early 20th century when the New York Giants baseball team would carry a ball bag off the field when the team was in the lead . They superstitiously thought that the game was ‘in the bag’ and couldn’t be lost.
Just a few days ago the internet informed me that when Melania left the White House she did so carrying a Birkin handbag that cost $70,000 U.S. dollars . My poverty struck mind was a bit curious and so I Googled Birkin handbags and discovered that even the most “affordable” handbags made by them would still run most of a years pay.
I’m now thinking the wife might make different choices for next years Christmas list.
Having foolishly Googled Birkin bags it has now become impossible to open my internet browser without an endless array of Birkin advertisements . The first thing that interests me is that if these guys are sharp enough to target me on my internet search, then why aren’t they sharp enough to realize I’ll never be able to purchase a Birkin handbag ?
The second thing that interests me is …..
What could you possibly need to carry that would require a $ 70,000 bag
…. what’s in the bag ?
