Shoeonomics

Feel that you need more shoes?

Shoe collection a little flat?

Then you must go and look at shoes

Try shoes

And of most important, buy shoes!

Why? So that you can get so excited in the shoe shop that you lift your top?

So that you can enjoy trying the new shoes out at home?

All that of course!

But because the money you spend will help shoe shop employees and owners buy

Bras

and cars

(Buying shoes is your duty to your country's economy.)  Your spending will allow them to have life's little luxuries like

Holidays

A new PC

Beauty Treatment

Jewellery

And of course life's essentials

The occasional hair cut

A trip to work on the bus

Oh yes and food to eat

And your money goes on and on. Once the shoe shop owner has bought a new car, then the car company can employ girls to stand around - (the company's cars) - looking sexy.

And then those girls take their pay - (which was originally the money spent by the shoe shop owner on the car, which before that the money that you and others paid for shoes) - can buy clothes

I assume she has clothes to try on in the changing room

 and tights

So keeping the older of a old fashion underwear shop in business (and in tights)

It's called the multiplier; each Pound (Dollar or Euro) you spend on a pair of shoes gets passed on and spent again (and again).

That's just the retail staff.  Your spending on shoes also supports the Elves who make the shoes

OK. I know Elves don't really make shoes.  Although this pair could have an Evil Elvin Original

The Evil Elvin influence of shoes like these could make you do anything

Like showing your pantyhosed arse to the world

You could take the shoes off to avoid the Evil Elf Influence

But the Elves may not take kindly to you taking their shoes off...

... and next time you might not be able to get the Elf Shoes off

More Elf shoes?

But back in the real world (or is the world with the Elves real?), buying shoes can only do good can't it?  All that money that flows to all those people?  Who can object?  The Pope.

Actually not this Pope but I really like the image so I thought I'd use it

"Pope Francis has warned the world's 1.2 billion Roman Catholics not to be "intoxicated" by possessions in his annual Christmas homily. He called for more sobriety in a world obsessed by "consumerism and hedonism, wealth and extravagance"."

First it was burning heretics, soon it will be burning shoes.

At least the girl got taken out of the shoes; but perhaps she's burning separately

Ahhh yes so she is

IMHO the Church needs to reconsider its fashion sense.  Here's suggestion for a new nun's uniform

Note the shoes
