rxrenesis Posted May 5, 2007 Posted May 5, 2007 Since they were in a rack marked men's I would have pulled a pair to try on just for the hell of it. I get the irony of the photo. rx If the shoe fits BUY IT http://s10.photobucket.com/albums/a145/rxrenesis/Shoe%20Shots/
Danielinheels Posted May 5, 2007 Posted May 5, 2007 i would have done the same... "oh wait, these aren't mens? well they look nice on me, so I guess they are now!" Be yourself; everyone else is already taken. - Oscar Wilde
Dr. Shoe Posted May 5, 2007 Posted May 5, 2007 For those that don't get it, Irony means anything that looks like it's made of iron. As in "that copper tube's a bit irony mate, are you sure it's pure copper?" Tara's in silly mode again!!!

Thighbootguy Posted May 5, 2007 Posted May 5, 2007 I disagree with Dr. Shoe that “(There you are, proof positive that) Americans don't understand irony!!!” Irony brings to mind images of: “Hey, I got this magnet stuck to my leg.”“Here is how to flatten a wrinkled knee” I really liked the picture of the Men’s shoe rack but some could have interpreted it as: Being racked with pain Stretching things too far (think medieval torture) A funny looking Oracle computer system (geek use of the word) Poorly organized shoes (billiards) I’ll quit now. The Oxford English Dictionary dedicated four pages to the word rack. I dream of a world where chickens can cross roads without having their motives questioned.
Guy N. Heels Posted May 5, 2007 Posted May 5, 2007 Does that mean some of us have irony-poor blood? (Oh, yeah, that's a bad one ) NO-no, that's just the opposite of irony. It's more like the guy who took too much Geratol and all the compass needles started pointing at him. You know, like: "Hey Ma, you need to use more oil in yer cooking 'cause my pipes are starting to get rusty.":silly: Keep on stepping, Guy N. Heels
DandyDude Posted August 20, 2007 Posted August 20, 2007 I saw the shoes in bins marked "Men's." I agree about it being merely lousy shopkeeping, shoes carelessly dumped in the incorrect bin. It is not "irony" by a long shot. Now, if in fact it was merely poor shopkeeping as I believe it was, what would be irony would be if men bought every shoe in those bins, wore them in public, then went back to the shop wearing those very shoes asking for more. When the shopgirls tell the men they don't have them plus they are "women's shoes," the men say, "We bought them here and they were in the Men's bins!" That is irony. Yes, "irony" is cheap metal.
