If he stole all of the right shoes, that means everything's left.
And if everything's left, did he take anything?

[-] [email protected] 12 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

There's plenty left: all the wrong ones.

Seems pretty sinister of him...

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

I dunno, I have 2 left feet so win win for me.

[-] [email protected] 20 points 3 days ago

If the shoe don't fit you must acquit.

You looking for a job as his attorney?

Prosecutors hate this one weird trick!

He seems like an all right guy

[-] [email protected] 8 points 2 days ago

I can appreciate this kind of mayhem.

Dumbass stole an odd number of shoes.

To be fair, stealing all the right sided shoes from a shoe store just to irritate Barry Allen is absolutely something Thawne would come up with.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago

This sounds like leftist propaganda.

also could be the plot of a Phineas and Ferb episode.

BEHOLD, MY RIGHT FOOT SHOE STEAL INATOR

He must've been desperate, he's got nothing left

[-] [email protected] 32 points 3 days ago

Bet the store owner was hopping mad.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 3 days ago

There must be something wrong with this man’s sole.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago

That joke was already made in the article.

[-] [email protected] 7 points 3 days ago

I didn't read it as it's the Daily Heil.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 3 days ago

There's an article?

[-] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago

who steals a shoe(s)? honestly!

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago

Someone with one leg.

[-] [email protected] 20 points 3 days ago

I wish that I could say that it isn't right, but.....

[-] [email protected] 26 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

In fact, it seems it was all right

[-] [email protected] 14 points 3 days ago

All that was left was left.

[-] [email protected] 12 points 3 days ago

If you only take what is right then you will never be wrong.

[-] [email protected] 12 points 3 days ago

In B4 someone blames the Left

[-] [email protected] 10 points 3 days ago

If it’s wrong to take the right shoes, then would it be it right to take the left shoes?

What are you gonna do, chase him? With only your left shoe?? This guy's smart

[-] [email protected] 8 points 3 days ago

He's too far into the far-right spectrum!

[-] [email protected] 7 points 3 days ago

A righteous man, I see.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 3 days ago

….why? Was it just the display shoe or something?

[-] [email protected] 19 points 3 days ago

There’s an old myth about a shipment of playing cards. The guy buys a whole container of playing cards, but removes the same card from all packs. The shipment is confiscated and later sold for almost nothing because the packs are all incomplete. He then buys the shipment and restores the packs. All this was cheaper than paying import duties.

Maybe this guy is playing a long game.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago

I wondered too and bravely ventured onto the dailymail website when the comments left me hanging. Your hunch was right, the only this i can add is that he walked out

seemingly unaware that they were not matching pairs

[-] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago

There was an old wacky-crooks story about a one-legged man who kept getting arrested stealing display shoes from shops when they matched his remaining leg.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago

Probably gonna sell them on onefoottwoshoes.com

[-] [email protected] 4 points 3 days ago

My guess is he has a new romantic interest who is one legged that he's trying to impress.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 2 days ago

Is her name Peg?

[-] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago
[-] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago

Invite a lot of really bad dancers to buy all the left shoes for cheap

[-] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago

Well we do have a sense of humour

[-] [email protected] 1 points 3 days ago

These shoes will claim they're victims of a crime and they're right!

[-] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago

I'm just saying, renaming your store to "53 Shoes" after this would be really funny.
