It’s Shoe-A-Palooza In Miami

It's like Imelda Marcos' closet threw up!
Deanna is enroute to Florida as we speak! Heh.
MIAMI – State troopers are looking for a charity to take thousands of shoes that were dumped on a Miami expressway, tying up rush hour traffic. Lt. Pat Santangelo says the Florida Highway Patrol received a call about the shoes Friday morning.
Santangelo says he’s not sure where the shoes came from. There were no signs of a crash and no one stopped to claim them. He says he hopes someone will take them because he doesn’t want to send them to the dump.
Maybe someone ran over a very well-dressed centipede? What? Stranger things have happened in Miami, believe me.
Workers using a front-end loader and a dump truck were able to quickly clear at least one lane by sweeping all the shoes to shoulder, but delays were expected until they could all be removed. (LINK)
Authorities stated that they had to use tear gas and bean bag guns to keep hundreds of women from storming the scene.
Okay, I made that up, but you just know that there were some female (and male) passersby who wanted to stop and shop. Shoe betcha!

Shhhhh! My husband had told me I had to clean out my closet and I didn’t know what else to do with all those shoes. It is a new year, Wyatt, out with the old and in with the new shoes!

Come clean, Marshall.
It was Mrs Earp chaseing you down the freeway and throwing shoes at you following your comment on the earlier thread.
