Questions for Mr. Boy

1. What size shoe do you wear?

Grrrrrr. I hate when I'm asked this question. I'll have you know my wife and I are VERY happily married, thank you. Donna likes me no matter what size my shoes. Besides, as she says, "It's not the size of the feet, it's what you do-is-do with them."

At the moment, if you must know, I'm shoeless. I'm squeezed into extra-long tube socks.

I may need to change into a pair of sleeping bags.

2. How many pairs of shoes do you own?

Four in current rotation. And the time-share mukluks.

3. What type of shoe do you prefer (boots, sneakers, pumps, etc.)?

I wear sneakers exclusively. Being a vegetarian, I won't purchase leather. All my shoes are canvas. All my meals taste like canvas.

4. Describe your favorite pair of shoes. Why are they your favorite?

Actually, my favorite shoes are my Tigger slippers. I wear them during the cold weather months. They're cozy and people stay out of my way at the Wal-Mart.

5. What's the most you've spent on one pair of shoes?

One hundred dollars -- but that includes the money I lost walking out of Adam Sandler movies.
