A man is suing after he fell on a greasy trail left by someone wearing pork chops for shoes.

Troy Michael Bowron claims he broke his arm when he fell at the Jannali Inn in Sydney, Australia.

He says another customer at the pub, Ross Lucock, taped pork chops to his feet and used them for shoes.

The 25-year-old claims he fell on the pub floor because of the grease in November 1997, reports the Sydney Morning Herald and is suing the landlords and Mr Lucock.

Mr Bowron told New South Wales District Court: "He was walking around most of the night all around the place, it was a big laugh up there."

He is suing the pub and landlady Kelly Wells for negligence.

He is also suing Mr Lucock, alleging he created a dangerous situation.

There are so many reasons why Poke Chop Shoes never caught on.

Well I might consider wearing them as long as they come in 3 inch heels. Now that could be a new trend for summer.
