-I believe that flip-flops are the invention of the satan. :-) But they are so pervasive that yesterday I discovered that my own husband had a pair this entire time. And I never knew. Thus they insinuate themselves into people's lives. :-)

-Have you visited the Bible Belt lately? :-)
You have to wear flip-flops with flair and panache!
I have an absolutely fantastic pair of flip-flops which I proudly sport everywhere!
