Blues, Shoes and the Highway

Who do you think would drop a shoe on the side of a highway? Is it the guy who bought a pair of sneakers, then tossed out the left one because he lost a leg in Iraq last year - and this is the first pair of shoes he's been able to buy since he graduated from therapy? So, why doesn't he donate the useless sneaker? There are plenty of folks just like him out there, and lots of websites that take in odd shoes. Well, he didn't ask to have his freakin' leg blown off, so he could care less if that useless sneaker rots on the side of the road. His leg, or what was left of it, rotted with gangrene and they cut it off and tossed it away, didn't they? Did they care? But it's the cute little baby shoe lying on the highway that freaks me out the most. Did mom toss out the shoe by mistake? And why didn't dad stop the car and run back to pick up his kid's shoe? Why did no one stop for it? ...A stretch limo glides down the highway, music blaring. The couple on the back seat sips champagne and smile happily. A few glasses later, the guy starts to feel amorous and lunges lustily for his date's breasts. She shoves him away. Ugh, his breath stinks and he's on something. She hits the automatic window button and the cold night air rushes in. She pushes her date to the far corner of the car and quickly reaches down and yanks off one of her shoes. She slams the thin heel deep into his cheek. Immediately the blood gushes out. She pulls the shoe out of his face and flings it out the window. Then she screams as he lunges at her again, this time with murder in his eyes. The limo continues down the highway… the shoe rolls to a stop and blood drips onto the tarred road. How many shoes have you seen lying on the roads lately? Who drops these shoes on the highways and byways?
