Chapter 22, how Crocs came about


Crocs are ugly.
It's ugly.
I didn't know something ugly could be trendy.
The ones for the ladies are okay, cuz they look rather nice on ones feet.
I just don't like the big ones men would wear.
I'm guessing this is how Crocs came about..

Once upon a time, there was a group of construction workers.
They had really nice muscles because they lift heavy stuff everyday.
And they enjoy fishing, and drinking beer.
And they don't shave much, so they're quite scruffy and messy.
Anyway, one day they decided to go fishing.
They headed off to a nearby river with all their fishing gear.
When they got there, they put their rain boots on and began reeling.
But one of them was feeling rather.. "one-with-nature"
He started doing yoga recently, because he wanted to be more flexible.
For his wife.
Lately, he's been very in-tuned to his feelings.
And he wanted to feel the water between his toes,
but he didn't want the rocks to slice his feet.
Because he thought sharks might come and attack him if he started bleeding.
He wasn't very smart,
but he was quite creative.
He said to himself, "Hhmm.. this won't do"
And voila! He had an idea.
He took a nail and started making holes in his construction boots.
That way, he can dip his feet in water without getting cuts on his feet.
He was relieved, knowing that sharks won't attack him.
Like I said, he wasn't very smart.

You see, Crocs began as an outdoor shoe.
And noooow, they sell them in pasar malam!

The same with checkered shirts.
It's gotten to a point where everyone looked like they are in uniforms.
Just in different colours.

Whatever, bye.
