“BIG PLANS” — by Steve Nadis
In the Y locker room yesterday, a guy I’ll call “Courtesy Flush” complimented me on the flip-flops I was wearing. It was nice of him to say so, but he inadvertently hit upon a sore spot. You see, I never planned on wasting my $20 sandals on the locker room floor, making the dreary trip from the locker to shower to pool and back and then languishing 23 hours a day in a plastic bag with the rest of my gym stuff. I had big plans for those sandals. I planned on taking them out to see the world a bit. To explore. But I couldn’t find any $2 flip-flops anywhere in the winter, though Lord knows I tried. So I had to use my expensive ones for these mundane purposes. Which is a shame, because I had such big plans. We were going places, the two of us. And now we’re living out of a plastic bag.

This is an all-time low. Even for you. Crying about flip-flops? You should be ashamed of yourself.
Hi Burt, good to see I’m living down to your low expectations and maybe even exceeding them.
Which means we’ve all been denied your best selling books “Travels in Sandals” and “Flip-Flop Globe Hop”.
Thanks Doc for the hot tips. Those are books I’d definitely like to write though, if truth be told, probably not read…

Sorry to be obscure. They’re just cheap, rubber sandals. Or at least they’re supposed to be cheap…
Better than a body bag!
Well put, WFW.
