5/10! :no: And I’m a good test taker! :rotfl:

Lol, you are using logic to guess a shoplifter’s mind? :laugh: :laugh:

Reply

Gaea September 19, 2010 at 11:03 am

i did! and hit it right :D
well i guessed the polls would have been “USA” based as they think they make the “world”
and out there most are crazy over mascarras. and as iky said y spend time on shades when doing that!

Lol, shoplifting hasn’t become an Indian phenomenon yet. We still do not have many malls and stores. But I still think lipstick would be the one. It’s smaller and easier to carry. And shoplifting happens on an impulse. I think lipstick would evoke that impulse. :-)
