Inserted in your trousers is a string, that once pulled, inflates a life-like man, who seems to be hunched over at your shoe area - that enlarges from a special pack in your lower pant region.
Go into a park at lunch time, and when it is apparant that Gladys, Jill, Terrence or even Eleanor seems to be approaching, give your Inflatable Shoe Shine string a quick tug, and your workmates will think that you have great concern for the appearance of your shoes.
If they come too close, tell them it is merely a new fashion trend from Finland.-- benfrost, Jul 08 2005 //Gladys, Jill, Terrence or even Eleanor seems to be approaching// What happens if another person approaches? What about someone called Ivan?.....You just havn't thought about these issues.-- Minimal, Jul 08 2005 random, halfbakery
