From Steve Martin...
Cruel Shoes

Anna knew she had to have some new shoes today, and Carlo had helped her try on every pair in the store. Carlo spoke wearily, "Well, that's every pair of shoes in the place."

"Oh, you must have one more pair..."

"No, not one more pair... Well, we have the cruel shoes, but no one would want..."

Anna interrupted, "Oh yes, let me see the cruel shoes!"

Carlo looked incredulous. "No Anna, you don't understand, you see the cruel shoes are..."

"Get them!"

Carlo disappeared into the back room for a moment, then returned with an ordinary shoe box. He opened the lid and removed a hideous pair of black and white pumps. But these were not an ordinary pair of black and white pumps; both were left feet, one had aright angle turn with separate compartments that pointed the toes in impossible directions. The other shoe was six inches long and was curved inward like a rocking chair with a vise and razor blades to hold the foot in place.

Carlo spoke hesitantly, "... Now you see why... they're not fit for humans..."

"Put them on me."

"But..."

"Put them on me!"

Carlo knew all arguments were useless. He knelt down before her and forced the feet into the shoes.

The screams were incredible.

Anna crawled over to the mirror and held her bloody feet up where she could see.

"I like them."

She paid Carlo and crawled out of the store into the street.

Later that day, Carlo was overheard saying to a new customer, "Well, that's every shoe in the place. Unless, of course, you'd like to try the cruel shoes."

Yeah, she's modest like that in front of everyone else. And I'm way too jealous to handle the consequences! 5'4", 105 lbs, and those boots in public- no, not gonna happen.

Nice shoes, I always found the ones with a strap around the ankle most attractive on a woman.

Saying for today:

Shop till you drop, THEN sit down and buy SHOES!

Many women have a feeling of basic inferiority because they don't measure up. The fact is when compared to men the average woman is short.

I'm going to assume you really were just trying to start trouble with this one, so I'll be nice.

I am taller than most men (unless, of course, I would have the good fortune to be in a room with an NFL football team),and I still wear high heels. Pumps, boots, stilettos, wedges, you name it, I wear it. Flats are ugly.

Of course I mostly wear flip flops and tennis shoes, or no shoes at all.

But if I am gonna dress up to look nice or cool, I will not hesitate to be taller than my husband. Which he hates. But I don't care.
