She loves elegant shoes and found it too expensive to buy 2 sets (size 5 and size 8) to get a pair that fit. So she put out an ad and found another woman with the same taste in shoes but with the opposite size configuration: left foot 8 and right foot 5! So for 26 years, these two still shoe shop together...Jenhttp://11crossgallery.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6370763014722326902.post-90885976341517482412010-11-17T11:16:24.997-08:002010-11-17T11:16:24.997-08:00Hilaaaarious.

I shuffled through the parking lot (having realised the size difference too late!) and straight to the bathroom where I stuffed toilet paper in the toes so they wouldn't slip anymore. So I feel your pain.
