Rack Pack

We've all seen those cute backpacks that young parents use to lug Junior around until he has the motor skills to walk to the coal mines himself.

Why not adapt this to make your life easier when shopping with your wife? The Rack Pack would consist of a simple backpack frame, onto which would be welded a metal clothing rack system. As your beloved completes each round of picking out, trying on, and obsessing over her body neurotically, she can hang her selections on your Rack Pack instead of piling the jumbled mess into your arms and sprinting off to the nearest clearance rack.

You will be fulfilling your duties as a dutiful husband by carrying her purchases for her, without the distress of having so much apparel in your arms that you look like a Rayon iceberg with legs.

Of course, the obvious problem with this is that the more you can carry, the more she is likely to purchase. One solution is to charge a great deal more for the smaller Rack Pack (with Diminished Capacity!) than you would for the full-size version. The premium here would quickly be paid by more miserly husbands who could see the long-term cost-of-ownership outweighing the initial investment. Special long-sleeve shirts could be sold as matching accessories - The sleeves would be coated with Teflon, thus preventing loading of the arms in addition to the pack.

Surprisingly, my wife loves this idea. Something about "...not hearing you constantly complain when we go shopping", whatever that means.
