In his youth, Frank was in good shape. But about 10 years ago he started gaining weight, and became quite obese.

Frank decided to loose weight. He worked hard, passed up desserts and excessive food in spite of the difficulty in doing so, and gradually went back to his former weight.

Again being slim, Frank decided to try on an old suit he hadnt been able to wear for years. It looked great. But he noticed something in the pocket. It was a ticket from a local shoe repair shop.

Frank didnt remember taking any shoes to be repaired, but he decided to take in the ticket to see if they still had his shoes.

The next day he walked in the door of the repair shop, and handed the clerk the ticket. After disappearing behind a curtain for several minutes, the clerk came out and announced, They will be ready next Tuesday.
