You're in a shoe shop, second in the line for the cash register.
Behind the cashier is a pair of shoes which you have seen and which you must have. The female shopper in front of you
has seen them also and is eyeing them with desire. Both of you have forgotten your purses. It would be rude to
push in front of the first woman if you had no money to pay for the shoes. The cashier remains at the cash register
still waiting. Your friend is trying on another pair of shoes at the back of the shop and sees your dilemma. She
prepares to throw her purse to you. If she does so, you can catch the purse, then walk round the other shopper and buy
the shoes! At a pinch she could throw the purse ahead of the other shopper and "While it is in flight" you could nip
around the other shopper, catch the purse and buy the shoes! BUT,
you must always remember that until the purse has "actually been thrown", it would be wrong for you to be in front of
the other shopper and you would be OFFSIDE!
