Probably not true

A long time ago, I heard a story about two very good friends who served together in the Army. Unfortunately, during a very fierce battle, both men were wounded, but thankfully survived. However, one man lost his left leg and the other man lost his right leg. Being such close friends, and both having amazing senses of humor, they decided to meet once a year at a different shoe store, act like they didn’t know each other, and have a little fun with the store associate as they tried on various pairs of shoes and finally settled on one pair that they each liked. They would ask for two separate bags, argue a bit over who got the box, and then exit the store leaving the bewildered employee with a tale he was bound to tell for years and years. I always thought that it was just a story. But today, I believe I stumbled upon those two men in Glover Park. And, from the looks of it, they also have similar tastes in shirts. And now you know … the rest of the story.
