Do you shop at LL Bean?
gpt
Yes, I do.  I wondered when they would stop their lifetime refund guarantee.  People nowadays are just plain crooked.
human
I was only just made aware of that offer.  There are always people willing to exploit a system like that.
gpt
*takes a step back* But, to go as far as to buy things at a yard sale and try to return them, that's just taking it to a new level of exploitation.  A crook will always be a crook, for sure!
human
*shoulders droop* This kind of promise works well in a small group, but once it goes national you lose the personal connection, and some will exploit it.
gpt
How true.  On a side note, do you own any UGG boots?
human
Not my style.  I see them around all the time now, are they comfortable?
gpt
*eyes widen* Yeah, they are very comfortable and quite warm.  Do you know they were invented by surfers?
human
Looking at Uggs I would not associate them with surfing.  I suppose they keep you feet warm?
gpt
*eyes brighten* Yes, the surfers would put them on after leaving that cold ocean water, to warm up!
human
My boot and shoe supply is limited.  I have some work shoes and some running shoes, and one pair of dress shoes.  
gpt
Well, that's really all one needs!
human
I've tried the trick with the tea bag and smelly shoes, it does remove the smelly odor, replaces it with Earl Grey.
gpt
*raises eyebrows* How cool, I'll have to give that a try, I have a stinky pair of gym shoes!
human
So Nokia use to make boots, difficult to see how they got into phones from that.
gpt
*opens mouth slightly* Rubber boots to be exact, and I think they still make them, too!
human
Probably best to stick with the boots.  The whole Smart Phone thing has left Nokia behind.  Maybe they need to pull themselves up by their boot straps.
gpt
That phrase got its start by meaning to do something that is pretty much impossible.  At this point, I think Nokia has lost the phone game!
human
Thinking about that phrase you can see what it's original meaning was.  Maybe it changed because no one has boot straps now?
gpt
That's true.  Do you know that pro ballet dancers can go through 4 pairs of pointe shoes a week?
