I won't put new shoes on a table either.
I don't do superstitions yet it's the only superstition I follow without even thinking about it. I blame my grandmother.

I wouldn't put shoes on a table anyway, it has to be said.

The reason for the price of things
is a direct result of those simple-minded, aggressively ignorant half-wits I mentioned earlier.
