I think it is time that all shoes be banned or at least registered and back ground checks be done prior to buying them...:hmmm:

Or at least registered so the next time they are thrown at a world leader, or hung from the telephone lines, the authorities know who to go after...

Yes, shoe offenders need to be registered and have a background check.

Should it be shoe specific?:hmmm: Slippers are not really dangerous. Steel toed boots on the other hand:o

So now security won't just ask you to take off you shoes. You'll have to turn them in and you won't get them back until you leave.;)

What about the right to carry concealed shoes? :hmmm: If I come across a puddle or it's raining I'd like to have some protection.

Add an increased charge if they have athletes foot.

The 'chemical' attack is always harder to defeat than a 'aerial' assault!:doh:

If you outlaw shoes, only outlaws will have shoes.

Shoes don't kill people, foot odor kills people.

And there should be a shoe exclusion zone around schools, which should also be extended to sandals. Flip-flops are okay, because they are light-weight, but I think there should be a total ban on steel toe work boots.

A quote from amerikas greatest statesperson (evah):

(make sure you read this post ex-tra slow foe full ee-ffect)


My fellow amerikans, we have a new crisis. Over 500 million ameri-kans are keelled everyday by thrown shoes. Now, I have a 67 point plan the curb this vio-lence. I will cree-ate a new federal department of shoe throwing and regulation. We must subsidize a "lock-box army" to con-tain this problem. Only by putting these deveant and violent shoes in "lock boxes" will we be able to end this point-less vio-lence against the chil'rens.
