Somewhere nearby a pedicurist is running in wild frantic circles
screaming hysterically whilst waving a prosthetic leg overhead.

If you have two shoes to get rid of you tie them together and throw them over the power lines. (Yes, this is tongue in cheek and I don't recommend throwing perfectly good shoes at bums.)

Probably because inquiring minds want to know?

oh wow! we don't get those in the UK. We get about 100 pieces of chewing gum for every square foot but no mouth guards as yet.

In the US the gum goes under the tables. I learned very young not to ever touch the underside of a table in any kind of public venue . . .. . Way, way yicky . . . . .
