Re: Ain't Life A Shame.
Sometimes I think it's cruel giving machines a personality. My mate once brought a pair of shoes with artificial intelligence. Smart Shoes, they were called. It was a neat idea. No matter how blind drunk you were, they would always get you home. Then he got ratted one night in Manchester, and woke up the next morning in Ibiza. See, the shoes got bored just going from his local to the flat. They wanted to see the world, man, y'know? He had a helluva job getting rid of them. No matter who he sold them to, they'd show up again the next day! He tried to shut them out, but they just kicked the door down, y'know?
Last thing he heard, they'd sort of, erm, robbed a car and drove it into a canal. They couldn't steer, y'see. He went to see a priest. The priest told him, he said, it was alright, and all that, and the shoes were happy, and they'd gone to heaven. Y'see, it turns out shoes have soles.
