Shoes on the Side of the Expressway

WHY are there always shoes on the side of the expressway?

I spend a lot of time driving long distances along the expressway and I can’t help but notice the number of shoes I see strewn along the shoulder.  I really just don’t understand why they are there.

First I have to ask myself, “who threw the shoe out of the moving vehicle?”  Did a driver in an extreme case of road rage throw his own shoe at another car?  Or was someone so pissed off at a fellow passenger that they ripped their shoe off their feet and threw it out the window?

I also have to ask myself about the whereabouts of the shoe’s match.  There is never a pair of shoes… just one.  If you’re going to throw one, why not throw the other.  What are you going to do with one shoe?!

Regardless, I’m pretty sure that throwing a shoe out of a car traveling at 70 mph is never the answer (and not really safe or sane).

Pink SUV

I saw this in my college’s student lot this morning.

WHY did someone have their Ford Escape painted to look like someone threw up Pepto Bismol all over?

They used to make pink cars back in the 50s.  Ever wonder why they don’t do it anymore?  Because it looks ridiculous.  I bet this girl is in a sorority.  Or even better, I bet this girl owns the car.
