Default Shoe throwing, not just a statement

but a trend:

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

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? Slippers are not really dangerous. Steel toed boots on the other hand

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.

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? If I come across a puddle or it's raining I'd like to have some protection.

They can have my shoes when they pry them from my cold dead feet.
