#1 If they were so 'well-know,' why weren't they picked up sooner?

Got that?

#7 Anymouse, Ima brown shoe, so you can use multi-syllable words. Compund sentences are OK, too. :)

#9 Whew! I was worried there for a minute. You know the black shoes have to have it spelled out in 40 point font single syllable words as you pointed out. Easily confused bunch.

(LOL!)

#11 Osama wants to show 'em the way to paradise, but never seems to go along for the ride.

This is why it's so important that we start up a "private transportation" network for all these ~~cowardly~~ reluctant stay-at-home top tier Islamic clerics. They really need to get ~~offed~~ out and about more often.

#12 So where do I fit in, anymouse? I've got an adorable pair of brown pumps with zippers on the toes, and the cutest little black pumps with velvet bows. If it helps any, I have 6.25 diopter myopia that makes it dreadfully hard to see if I misplace my glasses before putting in the contact lenses (one of Mr. Wife's morning jobs is finding my glasses if they somehow aren't on the nightstand as intended), but then I wouldn't be able to read what's on the screen no matter how big the font. ;-)

#13 All this talk about foot wear reminds me very little of how Imelda Marcos' trial threatened to last for almost twenty years.

She asked the judge to walk a mile in her shoes.

#14 TW; there is a bit of class distinction in the Navy; Aviation types ('airedales' is an endaring term hung on us by those less fortunate) wear brown shoes; I believe it came from the original flight boots back 'in the day.' Surface and sub-surface sailors wear black, hence the term.
As to your 'adorable brown pumps,' I will leave those for the Air Force, but thanks anyway.
