Shulless Joe Bernstein.

I'm not sure how it's possible for someone to lose one shoe and not notice. I've seen this phenomenon a lot. Highways, rest stops, streets, subway platforms, and now shul.

I've lost a glove, a scarf and other accessories in my life, but something as fundamental as my shoe, I think I would notice. If not because of the 5% tilt to my overall world perspective, the simple feel of rocks or wet grass might be a dead giveaway.

I have a theory, though not well formed, having something to do with the mysterious socks that go missing from one's laundry. Perhaps shoes and socks are linked on some cosmic level that mere mortals don't understand. But if that was true, there would be a lot more one shoed people hopping about, I'd imagine.
