Your blog, which describes an ...Dear Mr. Tammemagi,<br />Your blog, which describes an incident of theft in Saskatchewan, has been brought to the attention of our association. <br /><br />First, it would be demeaning to all of us left-appendaged people if it was ever intended to be construed that a thief would only want a “right” shoe and that a “left” shoe is somehow less than worthy. This attitude only exemplifies the jingoistic, chauvinistic paternalism often displayed among the most misogynistic of right-appendaged people. <br /><br />Further, it is clear that the thief was right-appendaged and no left-appendaged person or persons were involved in the incident. That deduction should have been made clear in your blog and it is distressing that it was not.<br /><br />Generously assuming that you meant no harm, and recognizing that right-appendaged persons may not be astute enough to recognize when they are making potentially injurious statements, I am inclined to assist you in preventing future thefts of a similar nature by applying my superior deductive abilities (common among left-appendaged persons and this is regardless of race despite what Sheriff Arpiao Joe of Arizona might tell you).<br /><br />In your blog, you refer to “a line of shoe locks”. While you are potentially on the right track (no pun intended) you are obviously unaware of an existing device used for that same purpose with motor vehicles. It is called a “boot”. Clearly, in future, if you are in the wild, exchange your urban footwear for something more appropriate, i.e., boots. This will solve your problem because, by their very definition, they are devices intended to prevent theft and cannot be stolen.<br /><br />No, please don’t bother to thank me. We left-appendaged people feel it is our duty to help the less fortunate whenever we can.<br /><br />Yours respectfully,<br />Roger Hefflefinger<br />President – National Left Appendaged People Association (often confused with MENSA) <br />Hans Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03263447827237674055noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2400741631087098872.post-24283034525804682302013-06-19T06:44:14.033-07:002013-06-19T06:44:14.033-07:00We have encountered customers who were very upset ...We have encountered customers who were very upset that we didn't forewarn them there was a fox thief. One in particular reported his grandson's missing expensive running shoe on a Saturday morning. This grandpa was fuming! He says we should have signs posted! Well, was his face red when on Sunday morning he came looking for HIS left shoe! Guess posting signs won't help!
