Hey - I see a new market!
Temporally embedded electronic signal-emitters in the shoe sole from rental booth at boat shows. App on your phone and you could track down your stolen shoes!
Yeah - That's the ticket!
Moral of story...if one has to take their shoes off in a public and easily accessed area, then carry the shoes.
I'm sure the look on Mason's face and the limp in his stride said "who stole my ----ing shoes"? And the rest of the outfit didn't go with ragged out flip flops either . I think we should just go in together a get him a new pair . I think Hopcar has a few of our credit card #s .That doesn''t say much for poor Mason while he had to walk the docks with a pair of blown-out flip-flops.
Wifey B: Stilettos?
You`re not saying you think he has them?That's it! I'm calling my lawyer.
Wifey B: Stilettos?
If you want...at least the first time aboard.
I don't really like golf shoes or football spikes on board either so you may not get invited back.
Wifey B: I don't know where this silly take off your shoe bit started, but we don't have people do it on our boat or in our home. (Well, I know for homes it's a Japanese thing and wouldn't have a problem doing it for them). But, I mean lets see...like the choice is nice boat shoes designed not to mar or anything vs. dirty, sweaty feet, maybe athlete's foot or worse...like who knows. Plus people be clumsy....even coordinated ones. Shoeless toes get broke....old Chinese Proverb. It's one thing to stub your toe in a shoe but without....oh s..... that hurts.
I mean if like I'm wearing stilettos I'll take them off. But deck shoes....
Did somebody really steal his shoes or is this thread going to last till
April Fools Day ?
The problem is that most people that are not boat people do not have nice boat shoes designed to not mar or mark the boat. *shrug*
I'm beginning to eliminate suspects:
1. RT--would have posted a video of the caper
2. Marin--he was too busy writing an essay at the time
3. Mark Pierce--he was busy taking pictures of the Coot
4. Hop Car--probably has enough pairs in his store
5. Wifey B--just because
6. Peggy Hall---afraid of foot odor
7. AusCan---busy putting shrimp on the barby
I'd be interested in your excuse Oliver
Wifey B: I wear my shoe's or I wear nothing at all.....
This is NOT a joke. Someone really did steal my shoes. This is a serious matter and I am thinking of hiring a PI to track the culprit down.
