You're right!! *Good point. *I guess someone has to take up the kudgel

You know what I really don't like? *Doors. *There are so many of them

And why do they come in different colors?

I wish shoe strings would do a better job.

shoelaces.com.

It is part of the Chinese economic warfare. They know you will have
to buy new (Chinese) shoes when the laces break. They are designed to
break one week after the guarantee period is up.
They can be defeated by using baler twine instead.
