Angry Iraqi's in Miami? Thousands of Shoes Snarl Miami Traffic



Quote:
MIAMI – State troopers are looking for a charity to take thousands of shoes that were dumped on a Miami expressway, tying up rush hour traffic. Lt. Pat Santangelo says the Florida Highway Patrol received a call about the shoes Friday morning.

Santangelo says he's not sure where the shoes came from. There were no signs of a crash and no one stopped to claim them. He says he hopes someone will take them because he doesn't want to send them to the dump.

Workers using a front-end loader and a dump truck were able to quickly clear at least one lane by sweeping all the shoes to shoulder, but delays were expected until they could all be removed.

Ouch, who throws their shoe?

That would be the right thing to do. I thought this story was hysterical when it broke out. I don't think anyone wrecked due to the mess, but I could be wrong.

They figured it out now, Spike's Mom cleaned out her closet, and Spike was too lazy to go all the way to the dump.
