I don't see shoes very often but I always see broken furniture by the side of highways and interstates and wonder:
(1)how far away did it start its journey?
(2)what happened to make it jump out right there, as opposed to further down the road?
(3)how far was it from its original destination?

I can just imagine some redneck hauling something in the back of his truck and it falling out right before he got home with his prize: "Look honey! I drove clear to the state line just to get you this really nice....ummmm.....where'd it go?"
