Lost & Found
May 23, 2006

Found in this month's round up of The Unclaimed Restaurant Lost & Found items:


1 Charm Bracelet

2 Umbrellas

1 Digital Camera

1 Bottle of Aveda Styling Foam

1 Set of Keys

1 Journal

1 Men's black shoe.

And the thing is, this isn't the first shoe we've found in The Lost & Found. We actually found one a couple months ago. And not the match to this one.


How do you lose a shoe and not know it? Do you get all the way to your car and realize that when you took off the one shoe to seductively rub your foot up the leg of your dining partner you left said shoe under the table, but you're just too damn embarassed to go back in and get it?


How does this happen?

One Single Solitary Shoe...? Maybe its mate is on the side of the highway. I can never figure out why there are single shoes on the highway.

Anything juicy in the journal? ;-)

I had a friend in university who was (justifiably) famous for his strange exploits when very very drunk. One night he escaped from a seemingly locked room - 5th floor - and was found in his bed with one shoe on the next morning. He had been seen around 4:30 on 49th street in Chicago (v. dangerous area) eating an ice cream cone and had no memory of it or clue how he ended up at home with only one shoe.

When sober, he was a (relatively) sane normal human being!

Maybe he's been in Seattle recently?

Forget the shoe - did you read the journal?

I've lost a single, solitary shoe before... however I was about 2 years old and I kicked it off into a lake at Disney World.

I love your writing! I just recently read the archives because I think you are hillarious... I also made lemon drops this weekend and let me just say... YUMMY!!!!!!! Please keep writing, you keep people like me entertained with the comments I only wish I had enough guts to say to people.

If he threw a shoe coming out of the starting gate, he might have had to be put down out in the parking lot. Check behind the dumpster for a body .... :-)

There's a Steve Martin momment in this... I just know it.

I lost a single, solitary shoe once, of course, I was only two years old at the time and I kicked it in the lake at Disney World.

I just read your archives and you absolutely crack me up! Please keep writing, I enjoy it so much! My only wish is that I could be a little less passive-aggressive and a little more aggressive like you.

Was it midnight? Was the shoe made of glass? Do you think he's waiting for Princess Charming to come find him?

I've found a sock before... that was more alarming **shudder**

liquor is how that shoe thing happens.

the charm bracelet...see you get that crap from your gramma...you don't know what to do with it, cause gee, gramma gave it to you, so you ditch it at the restaurant and "gee gramma, I lost the damn thing" remember to fake a few tearlets.

umbrellas...if I had a dollar for every umbrella I'd left somewhere, I could afford to buy more liquor and lose my own shoes.

the journal...anything exciting?

aveda foam...at least it wasn't the foam you use with your diaphram....

Fascinating.....

If nobody claims the digital camera, could I have it? I need a new one before my vacation to Vegas at the end of July. My current camera is one of the original digital cameras that Noah used on the ark to take pictures of all of the pairs of animals.

I don't suppose men keep an extra pair of shoes in their man-purses, "just in case".
People are losing towels and clothing at the place I work all the time because we're directly across from a gym.

Somewhat of a more prosaic explanation: a person who had shoes in his bag to switch into later (a jogger keeping his office shoes in his bag while wearing his sneakers, and forgetting to put them bag on?) and one shoe just fell off the bag.

It's possible, ain't it? in an Occam's Razor sort of way.
