Our society has certain norms and mores it puts on, like wearing shoes. You've got to wear shoes.
Some people take shoe wearing to an extreme.
Imelda Marcos, the former first lady of the Philippines, was rumored to have aquired over 3,000 pairs of shoes during her husband's tenure. My mom once told me that they came from the shoe stork, but that, like many other stork explanations, proved to be incorrect. A trip to the River Hills Mall last week set me on the course to infinite shoe wisdom. I'm an American. My parents are both union members.
