Flip Flops Get 24 Hours Cover Treatment

Must be the ideal slow news day over at 24 Hours. Today their ground breaking cover story is about "If shoes could talk" and predictably, the dreaded flip flops, or sandals, make an appearence. But did they really have to lede with a cliche ridden bore?
Don't judge a person until you walk a mile in their shoes ... If the shoe fits ... You've got big shoes to fill ... No other item of apparel lays claim to as many character cliches as footwear. Which got us to thinking, does the relationship between sole and soul delve deeper than a mere homonym?

And then when the flip flops talk, they sound dumb. "I don't like you. When it's warm they have to pull me out. I don't think you look good. Besides you're too hot." I knew it, Flip flops are stupid. Wear them at the beach and that's it.
