Arnold and his wife were cleaning out the “junk drawer” in the kitchen one day when he came across a ticket from the local shoe repair shop. The date stamped on the ticket showed that it was over eleven years old.
They both laughed and tried to remember which of them might have forgotten to pick up a pair of shoes over a decade ago. “Do you think the shoes will still be in the shop?” Arnold asked.
“Not very likely,” his wife said.
“Well, it's worth a try”, so pocketing the ticket he drove to the store and with a straight face, he handed the ticket to the man behind the counter.
With a face just as straight, the man said, “Just a minute. I'll have to look for these.” He disappeared into a dark corner at the back of the shop. Two minutes later, the man called out, “Here they are!”
“No kidding?” Arnold called back. “That's terrific! Who would have thought they'd still be here after all this time.”
The man came back to the counter, empty-handed, and said calmly, “They'll be ready Thursday.”
