I always lose my wife at the supermarket. She either
spends an inordinate amount of time at the aisle ends
(meaning my hurried glance up each aisle fails to locate
her) or she shops in a way which is inherently
unpredictable. Either way, my foraging trips for
forgotten
essentials take longer
than necessary.
All trolleys need a dynamo fitted to one wheel which
powers a small light. The light projects a coloured
number
onto the ceiling of the supermarket. I go to get apples, I
look at the ceiling, i check the (say) blue numerals for
number 12, i find her.

If she's standing at the aisle ends, the dynamo won't be turning and the light won't work. |

Are you sure that it's the hennessey wife that is the problem here? |
|

a length of string between partners might be the answer. |

DrBob - you're saying I should change
supermarkets? |
|
| |
That's one possible interpretation ;o) |

Better make sure all those electronics are waterproof, and it will aid divers to avoid them. |

add a paper cup on each end to [po]'s idea and the two of you can speak to each other! |
|
| |
So, what you're saying is that you'd like to find
your wife. |

//find your wife//
he's saying he wants to know where she is... not the same thing at all. |

Very nice. An alternative solution is to have a giant wife. |

Get a green laser pointer. Fit the tip with one of those thingies that turn the spot into an image. Tape the button ON and stick it in your wife's hairdo so that it is pointing straight up. |

Shop for all groceries online! You won't regret it! If only they would start online shopping here in Malaysia :( |
