Just Hangin' Around...
As human beings, specifically Americans, or at least people who live in the United States of America, we all have common things in our lives. Our health. The weather. The price of gas. Sneakers on wires.
We go about our day, seemingly oblivious to what is hanging mere feet from our heads. Those things that feet used to be in.
How did they get there? More importantly perhaps, why did they get there? Were the sneakers defective? Did they serve their purpose? Is this some sort of signal to an alien sneaker race? Has anyone ever witnessed someone else doing this?
It would take me forever and a day to get them slung over a wire a like that. Who has the time? Do people get caught doing this? Is this actually a crime? Have people lost power, or has someone been electrocuted executing (sorry for the pun) this activity?
I'm guessing that the kicks in the above picture are Keds, or some other wannabe brand. I doubt you'd ever see a pair of Air Jordan's up there, unless they were slung up there as some sort of revenge or other nefarious act.
Look! They even do it in other parts of the world! Shocking!
The internet is a wonderful thing. Life itself provides for the sneakers hanging up above. The internet provides the pictures of them, and information about this strange and curious thing.
