heritage

I went to lunch with a friend. We were wearing the same sneakers.
    When I went to get the sneakers, I looked inside them.
    "Heritage?" I asked the salesman."What does that mean?"
     He smirked.
     "Old," we said simultaneously.
     My friend, 81, said she got black laces because she thought they looked less old ladyish. At 61, I am thinking of detailing mine with permanent marker.

amazing coincidence considering how many different pairs of sneakers are available today....

Not that amazing—very few in wide sizes that can accommodate bunions!

O.K. I think this is a set up.

In the 35 years I have known you, I have NEVER seen you wear sneakers.

Are you planning to be the new spokesperson for whatever-brand-it-is??

PS Can you tell which feet are mine?

Yours have the grey laces.

Oh yeah, duh!

Why do the sneakers have light blue 'Y's on them? Do they make you question the reason for your journey?

Sneakers are one thing -- but not wearing jeans? I'm speechless.

Yeah, those are nylon sports pants, left at HHH by some tenant's kid. . .
They have like a football insignia or something on them.
