They are not spending because they have no arms to pay for items :thinking:

does it not mean they are not spending as the man with no arms cant reach his wallet.

It isn't a contradiction - you spend like a man with no arms i.e you don't - you cant get your hand in your pocket or wallet so you dont spend anything.

Similar to as useful as a one legged man in an ar** kicking contest - he can't kick as he only has one leg and would therefore fall over.

However a no-armed man in this household would spend like the clappers - as his other half would nick his cards and cash and be off like a shot!! :thumbsup:
