If he stole all of the right shoes, that means everything's left.
And if everything's left, did he take anything?

If the shoe don't fit you must acquit.

There's plenty left: all the wrong ones.

Seems pretty sinister of him...

To be fair, stealing all the right sided shoes from a shoe store just to irritate Barry Allen is absolutely something Thawne would come up with.

This sounds like leftist propaganda.

There must be something wrong with this man’s sole.

That joke was already made in the article.

I didn't read it as it's the Daily Heil.

I wish that I could say that it isn't right, but.....

boydster@sh.itjust.works · 26 pts · 1y (1 reply)

In fact, it seems it was all right

RotatingParts@lemmy.ml · 14 pts · 1y

All that was left was left.

If you only take what is right then you will never be wrong.

He’s all right, I guess

Hawk@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 3 pts · 1y

He must've been desperate, he's got nothing left

If it’s wrong to take the right shoes, then would it be it right to take the left shoes?

x00z@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 1y (1 reply)

It would be right to take the wrong shoes.

MeThisGuy@feddit.nl · 1 pts · 1y

three wrongs don't make a right. but three lefts do

A righteous man, I see.

What are you gonna do, chase him? With only your left shoe?? This guy's smart

FuglyDuck@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 1y (2 replies)

….why? Was it just the display shoe or something?

There’s an old myth about a shipment of playing cards. The guy buys a whole container of playing cards, but removes the same card from all packs. The shipment is confiscated and later sold for almost nothing because the packs are all incomplete. He then buys the shipment and restores the packs. All this was cheaper than paying import duties.

Maybe this guy is playing a long game.

I wondered too and bravely ventured onto the dailymail website when the comments left me hanging. Your hunch was right, the only this i can add is that he walked out

seemingly unaware that they were not matching pairs

Dumbass stole an odd number of shoes.

I'm just saying, renaming your store to "53 Shoes" after this would be really funny.

MeThisGuy@feddit.nl · 3 pts · 1y (2 replies)

who steals a shoe(s)? honestly!

GaMEChld@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 1y

BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 1y

Someone with one leg.

AllNewTypeFace@leminal.space · 3 pts · 1y

There was an old wacky-crooks story about a one-legged man who kept getting arrested stealing display shoes from shops when they matched his remaining leg.

Probably gonna sell them on onefoottwoshoes.com

My guess is he has a new romantic interest who is one legged that he's trying to impress.

What did he do with the wrong ones?

Draegur@lemmy.zip · 2 pts · 1y

Invite a lot of really bad dancers to buy all the left shoes for cheap

These shoes will claim they're victims of a crime and they're right!
