This morning the wife was out in the yard watering plants as I was walking to the car to go to work. As I was about to get in the car, she called to me "Hey! Slippers!" That's when I looked down and realized I was about to drive to work wearing my house slippers! Mind you they are nice slippers, but I imagine I'd have gotten some strange looks at work if she hadn't stopped me! :wall:
 
hmm... I usually go two false starts before I can clear th' yard. First to retrieve wallet, phone or suchlike. Second to RE affirm I didn't leave some light on or appliance runnin' from the FIRST one. Haven't had th' footgear issue...

yet. :wink:

And have only locked meself outta th' hovel ONCE in thirty years. That's been a decade ago.
~I~ think that's a pretty good record. :jester:

But spent the second of two hours yesterday chasin' me tail for stuff I shoulda had squared away in the first. Three calls from three clients between 0900 and 0915, all in PANIC. Left th' hovel with that all rattlin' around in me pea brane and FORGOT stuff for my personal chores. gah.




Not sure who said it, but:

"Business would be GREAT if it weren't for all these pesky CUSTOMERS!" :smirk:
 
Never locked my self out of the house. Don't even carry a house key
 
Preacher is visiting a member of his congregation. In the course of the conversation he asks "Mrs Jone, do you ever think about the hereafter?"

"Oh yes Pastor" she says, "I'm forever walking into a room and thinking, now what am I hereafter?"
 
I solved this problem by not having slippers. I have five pairs of shoes. Two of them are are Danskos (which you can get into quickly like slippers) and are my everyday shoes. Two pairs of boots (for dress up times)...Tony Lama and Lucchese. The fifth pair is some generic work boot, which I have to dig out to wear. No matter what pair I don, I won't wind up in an eye-rolling situation...at least not because of my shoes!

Dude, I almost drove off in my underwear yesterday after walking outside to admire my new rims.
 
~Actually~, it wouldn't have been that bad. There is a certain group in New Orleans that it is common place to see it's male members walking about in public wearing slippers. If said slipper comes up and around the heel, it is properly worn with the heel on top of the back part for ease of foot removal.

Same thing for loafers.
 
A lot of the WallyMart patrons 'round here have those.

This reminds me of the Laugh-In skit with Arte Johnson and Ruth Buzzi.....I couldn't find it on YouTube. Perhaps someone else can add it. :smile:
