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

[-] ThePantser@sh.itjust.works 19 points 1 year ago

If the shoe don't fit you must acquit.

[-] tigeruppercut@lemmy.zip 12 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

There's plenty left: all the wrong ones.

Seems pretty sinister of him...

[-] MeThisGuy@feddit.nl 2 points 1 year ago

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

You looking for a job as his attorney?

[-] Fuck_u_spez_@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 year ago

Prosecutors hate this one weird trick!

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.

[-] bradorsomething@ttrpg.network 4 points 1 year ago

This sounds like leftist propaganda.

[-] Jailbrick3d@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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

BEHOLD, MY RIGHT FOOT SHOE STEAL INATOR

[-] Redacted@lemmy.world 33 points 1 year ago

Bet the store owner was hopping mad.

[-] Illogicalbit@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

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

[-] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

That joke was already made in the article.

[-] Redacted@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

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

[-] not_woody_shaw@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

There's an article?

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

[-] boydster@sh.itjust.works 25 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

In fact, it seems it was all right

[-] RotatingParts@lemmy.ml 14 points 1 year ago

All that was left was left.

[-] ThePantser@sh.itjust.works 13 points 1 year ago

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

[-] Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 12 points 1 year ago

In B4 someone blames the Left

[-] DirigibleProtein@aussie.zone 10 points 1 year ago

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

[-] x00z@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

It would be right to take the wrong shoes.

[-] MeThisGuy@feddit.nl 1 points 1 year ago

three wrongs don't make a right. but three lefts do

[-] slaacaa@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago
[-] Hawk@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 year ago

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

[-] Blumpkinhead@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

I can appreciate this kind of mayhem.

[-] mrfriki@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

A righteous man, I see.

[-] FilthyShrooms@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

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

[-] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

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

[-] argh_another_username@lemmy.ca 19 points 1 year 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.

[-] huppakee@feddit.nl 3 points 1 year 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

[-] DicJacobus@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Dumbass stole an odd number of shoes.

[-] MeThisGuy@feddit.nl 3 points 1 year ago

who steals a shoe(s)? honestly!

[-] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Someone with one leg.

[-] TheTechnician27@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

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

[-] AllNewTypeFace@leminal.space 3 points 1 year 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.

[-] NeuralNomad@lemmy.cafe 3 points 1 year ago
[-] Draegur@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 year ago

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

[-] BeNotAfraid@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

What did he do with the wrong ones?

[-] modus@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Probably gonna sell them on onefoottwoshoes.com

[-] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

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

[-] Vandals_handle@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Is her name Peg?
