Lady Limpsalot
My colleague told me she had been given some solid inserts for her shoes to help with her fallen arches.

As she was changing out of her work heels for the walk home she was complaining that the inserts were so uncomfortable that she'd had to limp in that morning. She was shoving the inserts into her trainers and said "Look! I don't even know how they're supposed to fit!"

I took one glance and suggested that the bit she was trying to shove into the toe of the shoe might actually be designed for the heel - it was slimmer, rounded at the end and, to my eyes at least, shaped like a heel.

I still can't quite understand how she managed to make it to work with them in the wrong way round. It must have been like having a electric plug in each of her shoes!
