So far, I’ve not found anyone who will sell me just one
shoelace. Why should I buy something I
don’t yet need? I guess, someplace there
is a man with only one foot, who has a closet full of the other shoe. But a shoelace is such an insignificant
item. Why? Why must it be? I don’t understand. Hotdogs come with many to a pack, yet when I
tell the vendor, “I’ll take one.” He does not complain.
A person, for their automobile, can buy just one tire and yet they come in a set of four. My cousin, Miles, he always bums just one cigarette, while those show up in a pack of
twenty. Of course I could use a piece of
string, but how unsightly would I be walking down the street with one lace and
one string? People would be pointing and
laughing. If I were walking with
friends, they’d casually move away from me, wishing not to be associated with
string man.
I don't think it is right, selling a mandatory two. That's all I'm saying.
