Smelly shoes to beat pesky rabbits
A Belgian soccer club wants people to donate worn and smelly shoes in their efforts to keep rabbits off their pitch.
The club, Cercle Oedelem, has asked locals to give them their old shoes.
Club chairman Eddy Sypré told Het Nieuwsblad: "We are tired of having our players twist their ankles in holes made by the rabbits."
He came up with the idea of putting smelly shoes on the pitch while on holiday in a colleague's house in Limburg.
He added: "My colleague couldn't hardly grow vegetables because rabbits ate them before they were fully grown. But this year his garden was looking marvellous.
Between the vegetables he had put his outworn shoes. The rabbits couldn't stand the stench of his smelly feet."

"We are tired of having our players twist their ankles in holes made by the rabbits."
It's payback for all the keychains made out of rabbits feet.
;) :eek: :mad:
