You fill them with drugs, throw them up there, and then shoot a hole when a truck passes underneath. Then, when it goes through customs, the dogs alert on the truck and the driver is arrested, jeopardizing a criminal enterprise.

I got it off TV.

[Rio]

Usually trees around here.

[OldHarbor]

Many utilities are now underground. I have not seen shoes over wires in decades

[central_va]

Rape trees are the worst.

On army military posts, back in the day, it was common tradition for troopies leaving the service (ETS) to yeet one of their pairs of boots over the power line in front of their company.

[ProtectOurFreedom]

Ridiculous theories! It's an established fact that the electromagnetic radiation emitted from power lines attracts athletic shoes from long distances. Here's the proof from an MRI scanner:

I’ll admit, I’ve never seen this, but now I will start to look to see if they’re hanging around.

[SpaceBar]

Urban legend attributes them to markers for drug sales but in reality they are probably mostly due to idiots with too much time on their hands.

What, nobody here has watched Wag the Dog?

[GOPJ]

Depending on how the shoes are hung also can tell you what direction to go.

[Vaduz]

[Eli Kopter]

According to Better Call Saul.

[Texas Eagle]

Because shoes are very depressed. Can you imagine going through life with people walking all over you?

"...we’ve come up with all sorts of ways to remember lost loved ones, from Memento Mori.

Actually, the idea of Memento Mori is not to remember lost loved ones, but to keep in mind always our own eventual deaths, that someday we too will leave this world and we should live our lives accordingly.

[subterfuge]

Cool. Now do panties and bras on ski lift trees.

[dznutz]

You see them all over the west and south sides of Chicago. Most of the regulars already know where to buy dope, but the customers who come from the suburbs initially need some direction.
