Default Funny One at Delta Park Joes Today

I went to the Delta Park Joes today to look for a pair of Korkers. Looked at the various styles then started to look for a pair in my size (9). No size 9 in the style I wanted. Looked at the other styles. No size 9 in the other styles. Then I notice that all the Korkers in all the styles are size 12. Then I look all of the wading boots - mostly Hodgman. All of them are size 12. The store has over 100 boxes of wading boots. Everyone of them size 12. Hip boots too. I could only see one guy behind the counter with at least 4 people waiting for his help, so I didn't bug him with my observation.

I wonder if anyone noticed when they were stocking the shelves?

Its a conspiracy to sell multiple pairs of socks and is funded by the Sock Makers Union Of America.

Actually 64.8% of American males where size 12.

And you know what they say about guys with big feet?

Sorry you didn't find what you needed. I wear size 15. At least you won't have as hard a time as I have finding wading boots.

Same here...size 15 as well! At least we don't need skis when we go out.

Korkers are local and very helpful at their offfice with fulfilling your special order.

OK - I didn't mean for this to be a anti-Joe's rant. I like Joe's. I shop at Joe's (obviously). I just thought it was funny. "A man with size 9 feet can only find size 12 shoes in.....The Joe's Zone."

To be fair I had been next door at Fisherman's (another sponsor) before heading in to Joe's. They had my size Korkers, but not the style I wanted.

So now I have mentioned 3 sponsors in one post. Do I win anything?
