My spy shoe

All kids dream about presents, from the simple ones like a car toy, a bicycle or a doll, to those dream presents like a space rocket, a laser gun or giant robot (I watch too many movies, I know).

I never asked for weird or unusual presents to anyone... not even to Santa Claus (wait, there was that time I would like to have a time machine! Cooool!).
Recently I had an unexpected "present": a shoe phone! eheh Like the ones used by secret agents to make secret phone call (et voilá... too many movies again!).

During a launch a break, at the office, one of my coleagues tripped over my shoe and the result was like seen in the picture. I still don't know what was the special touch in order to create this work of art! eheh
The worst came afterwards: how could I return to office with a clam on my shoe? Well, I tried to walk for a while but ... everyone was staring and making jokes! :P Luckily that day I had with me an extra pair of shoes (which I was going to drop at the shoe repair shop), so I managed to change.

And talking about movies, spies and shoes... I recommend "Get Smart", the movie based on the famous 60's TV show, with Steve Carrel as Maxwell Smart, a.k.a. Agent 86... with a real shoe phone! ;)
