Road Shoe Enigma

Ok...hopefully, the title of this post has you intrigued. What the hell do you mean by road shoe enigma?

Well, you know, from time to time, you'll be traveling down the road and off to the side of the road there will be a shoe. A single solitary shoe. And they are almost always sneakers or flip flops...every now and then you'll find a boot. Most people will just ignore it and continue along their way without giving it a thought. Now, i'm not like most people, so there are many questions that start running through my mind. I know, from time to time i exert precious brain cell power on useless stuff.

Why the hell is there only one shoe on the road? what happened such that only one shoe would be left behind? Is there some poor schmuck hobbling down the road like the hunchback of notre dame? I mean, really, what happened?... Did someone say, i don't like my right shoe, i think i'll toss it out the window. Or was it some poorly orchestrated prank...hehe, when billy wakes up, he's gonna wish he stayed awake. Oh wait, i think i've got it (my personal fave) someone was struck by a vehicle...blew em right out of their shoe! The clean up crew decided to leave the shoe there as a reminder for those to not play in the street. Perhaps someone was riding in the passenger seat with their foot hanging out window--and poof...there goes the shoe. It's just a shoe, no need to go back for it...
Well, whatever the case, next time you see a solitary shoe on the side of the road, ask yourself, is todd really all that crazy?

Now, on to the two shoe enigma -- The pair of sneakers tied together and hanging from a powerline. This is perhaps even stranger than the solitary shoe. Now, i can only surmise that this is the root of an evil joke. Billy's a bitch and i'll get back at 'em...i'll toss his shoes on the powerline and watch him cry as he hopelessly makes attempts at jumping for his prize kicks. But, lets imagine for a moment that this wasn't the case. What the hell was this shoeless person thinking? Those Nike swooshes look like wings...i bet these things can fly!? Crazy i tell you. The power line guys must have a closet somewhere full of shoes. Next time you see a pair of sneaks hanging from the powerlines, ask yourself, is todd all that crazy...??

Here's one: Two people are riding down the freeway and they get in a fight so the passenger has a huge urge to throw something at the driver. Now the driver just cleaned his car out, so nothing to throw.... Off comes the shoe, whips it at the driver, bounces off his forehead and out the window. THAT'S the most likely scenario right there! - R

Sounds like you've lost a shoe or two in that very scenario!
