Pickles by Brian Crane for July 15, 2016

There’s no escaping the long arm of the fashion police.

I just tell people that I have a pair just like it at home.

Well, at least he didn’t forget his pants.

Only if one is a medical boot.

Been there…done that. Took half a day to realize it. Glad I can laugh at Earl and myself.

Nonverbal communication and hope it stops there.

I used to have a pair of red trainers and a pair of green ones in an identical style. I often deliberately mixed them up……. normal is so boring!

She doesn’t like fashion statements or anything else you do, Earl.

I put together a pair of beach shoes, the Left was Red, and the Right was Green, like a ship’s navigation lights.

I’ve done it with socks only… But I had shoes on the wrong feet…( I know wrong feet ? ).

While traveling to a guest performance, an orchestra player lays two pair of shoes outside his hotel door to have the shoes cleaned. The shoes are identical in all but color.Room service returns only one pair of shoes: one shoe is brown, the other is black.Running late, the orchestra player shrugs, puts on the mismatched shoes and goes down to the lobby, where he is unwittingly mis-identified as a spy.Great start to a movie, right?The result is hilarious.see the 1972 French comedy:‘The Tall Blonde Man with One Black Shoe’

Not only are different shoes on each foot, it looks like he put a sock only on the left one (or, instead of white, a nearly skin color sock on the right one). Or maybe that’s a colorist error (click for full size):

I used to mismatch my shoes pruposely just to see how many would notice

This is an easy thing to do – especially, at 5am,in the dark, when you have several pairs of flip flops.By 9am, and a couple of cups of coffee flowing through the system, you realize your feet are mismatched – and your wife didn’t even notice !

yes, always be careful to do what the wife wants…NOT!….

The tally so far: Earl 6, Gramma 6 million.
