Bravo.

I just didn't know how to start posting here on this thread. So I hope I can just get my FOOT in the door before it's too late. <BR><BR>This is a tale of a poor SOLE who TOEd the line every day at work, never letting things SLIDE, even though his co-workers CLOGged the markets with their SHODdy merchandise and SNEAKed out to take breaks all day long and his boss FLIP-FLOPped on every decision he ever had to make. Then, poor SOLE got the BOOT anyway! But, downTRODDEN though he was, he pulled himself up by the BOOTSTRAPS. Wanting to LIFT his spirits, I suggested that he travel a bit to HEEL his SOLE. Well, travel he did. He wandered FOOTloose and kicked up his HEELS in the loveliest places, wandered BAREFOOT on sunny beaches till his skin turned LEATHERY, HOOFED it in the Alps with a pack on his back, and played FOOTsie with well-HEELed young tourists. But, then he had to come home and FOOT the bills. Boy, was I sorry that I'd put my FOOT in my mouth suggesting this trip. Next time I have a brilliant idea, I'd better stick a SOCK in it!

You all are way too clever for the rest of us EASY SPIRITS., thanks for giving me a reason to smile after a terrible day, Deborah

If I can NOT tell you what to put in your MOUTH<BR><BR>How<BR><BR>Can I tell you what to wear on your FEET?????<BR><BR>To each HIS/HER own!!

I'm not sure where I stand on shoes.<BR><BR>Unless I toe the line, I tend to flip flop.

As my friend Doc Marten used to say, always be sure you have enough tread to keep from slowing down.

icithecat, you sure got branded!!!

<BR>Sitting here, eating my shoe- fly pie, tired from taking these boots walking. <BR>Heard that there was some heel talking about shoe posts. <BR><BR> He's no heel! This man has sole! <BR> <BR>If you don't believe me, then kiss my foot!<BR>

Capo: You don't have to be 'well heeled' to go to Boots. Just get 'laced' with a bit of cash!<BR><BR>...do you think we have overdone the puns by now?!! ;O)

&lt;&lt;do you think we have overdone the puns by now?!! ;O)&gt;&gt;<BR><BR><BR>Nah. Why not just kick up your HEELS and enjoy it. Maybe a few LOAFERS will wake up and get up the nerve to stick their TOES into the waters of this discussion. Soon we'll all be FLAT[s] out of ideas anyway and it will just become a FOOTnote in Fodors history. anyway.

... yup, we've all 'toed' the line with the puns... that one must be the last 'nail' in the coffin!! Or at least it 'shoe-uld' be!!!

Englishone, have you no sole?<BR>These days with all the sadness, many people booted from their homes<BR>we need to lacen up and smile to <BR>make everyone's life a a sandle .<BR>so don't be a mule.

Glad you all had a good time with the puns. I would have done more originally, but my favorite movie was on T.V....&quot;Honey, I Shrunk the Keds.&quot;
