And the pictures relate to the topic, how?

Are you sure they weren't just using the men's rack because all the ladies shoe racks were filled? ;)

Thats what I was thinking.

Well, duh! Of course, I just thought it was an amusing thing and decided to post it. :o

I gotta say, If I had seen that display, and it is pretty cool, I would have sit down and started trying on shoes just for fun.

Now that is humorous! Good catch HeelD!

It was actually my other half who spotted it - I decided to take a picture of it.

Does that mean some of us have irony-poor blood?

(Oh, yeah, that's a bad one ;) )

Have a happy time!

Don't understand ironing? Sure, we understand ironing! Just heat the irons up in the fireplace and get the wrinkles outta the shirt collars! What's not to understand? ;)

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!!!

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.

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:

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.
