My uncle Ken was fishing around in the pocket of an old suit.

Ken found a ticket for a pair of brown shoes he had taken to a cobbler known as Guisseppi's Shoe Repair in his old neighborhood. Just for kicks, Ken decided to visit the old neighborhood 20 years later to see if the place was still in business.

Ken rolled down the street and saw that the shop was just as he had remembered it. Walking in he saw Guisseppi, twenty years older with a bit more grey hair. Ken asked, Do you remember me? Mr. G said, "Uhhhhh Ken Billings, right?" Ken said, 'Yes, that's right. I found a twenty-year-old shoe repair ticket in one of my old suits. I thought I'd bring it by and show it to you.". Mr. G said. "Let me see it. brown shoes that needed fresh soles and new heels, right?" Ken said, "Yes!" Mr. G said, "let me look." The older gent goes back into the recesses of his shop. A lot of bumping and thudding came from down below. Mr. G Came back up smiling and said, "They'll be ready next Tuesday."
