Waiting For the Other Shoe

I don't know if it still happens but when I were a lad shoe shops often displayed their wares outside the shop so that passers by could admire the fine leather-work and style of their footwear. Because, even in those far off rose-tinted days, scallys would abscond with a pair were any retailer foolish enough to provide one, only one shoe was displayed the demand for one shoe being rightly assumed to be low. Now, however ,if the trend for raining footwear on unpopular politicians continues or grows this enticing practice will probably have to cease. Still, they (the politicos) should think themselves lucky it's not white phosphorous.
