One Shoe Factory

Jarnail Singh threw one shoe at Chiddi Man and I started wondering what happened to the other one! And how did Jarnail Singh walked thereafter. Jarnail Singh's problems were solved as he was picked up by local police chaps and he didnt have to walk on his own. But I have something else to think about now.

This is an opportunity for all of us entrepreneurs. I expect one-shoe-flying to become an acceptable norm of communication pretty soon. And it is a very effective way of expressing disagreement. So how does that translate into money making for us? And whats the driving factor?

The driving factor is that only one shoe is required, not the pair. As, it not practical to throw one and spoil the pair that you purchased with lots of preferences and attachment.

So guys, all we need is to start manufacturing single shoe unit of different types and varieties such as one which can fly for long distance or one that can hit harder or maybe one thats got sensors in it which can hit the target precisely, like anti missile weapons.

Any takers of the idea, please contact me. Leave a reply.

  1. Well I am sure this business is going to be a hit. Shoe-throwing incidents are major news makers these days. A politician who might not be known : may overnight be a media buzz.
    Infact politicians are even comtemplating to get some shoes thrown on themselves. That may raise some visibility for them ,otherwise missing.
    Nice post.

  2. That historically shoes have always been a strong way of communicating surely presents a strong case!

  3. Or maybe one of us can actually get in the business of collecting such shoes and start a shoe-auction site for people who hate politicians (and trust me there are many such ppl...).

    Rs 10,000 for a shoe that was thrown at LPY. Rs 20K for DeveG. Part of that money can go to the shoe owner (such an act will inspire ppl to throw more and more shoes at politicians) and a substantial part can go to some charity. People who would indulge in the holy of act throwing shoes at politicians will get one more reason to celebrate their act !!
