Arnold and his wife were cleaning out the attic 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.
"It's worth a try," Arnold said, pocketing the ticket.
He went downstairs, hopped into the car, and drove to the
store.
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."
