Sandals!1 What are they *GOOD* for?!1 ("War" and Skittles, take note or NOT!1 )

Did Achilles or Alexander have this problem? So, I'm trodding around, tripping on the water hose or even just a weed root clump thing or just on level ground (thanks, MONTAIGNE!1 ), and the freeking "flip flops" (or, "shower shoes" as Skittles insists on calling them) keep falling off and rearranging on different toes, like, is there a recent design problem?!1

How did all those Egyptians, Greeks, Romans, etc., do all that battaling and stuff with danged SHOWER SHOES?!1 Ha hah, I've heard that the "tough" Romans were skeered of the ocean, too!1

6. Maybe you should take this up with my Hebrew professor

She spent twenty minutes venting about overhearing a woman tell her daughter that they were called "sandals" because when you wear them to the beach you get sand between your toes.

No, it's a Hebrew word "sandal" or the plural "sandalim". So maybe its invention was the Israelite way of getting even with the Egyptians and Romans? Not sure about the Greeks, though.
