My father told me the same joke about a guy who enlisted,
and went to world war. On return, the military gave him back
all his stuff. Including the shoe ticket "ready in about
half hour".

I remember the story of a chap clearing out his recently
deceased
grandfather's apartment in lower Manhattan. He found a
receipt from a
shoe-repair shop dated 1938!

Since the shoe-shop was still in business, he thought he
might have some
fun. Entering the shop, he walked to the counter and handed
the cobbler the
receipt.

Glancing at the ticket, the shoe repair guy said: "They'll
be ready
Wednesday."
