The story below was found at the Huffington Post site today - you can't make this stuff up!
Londoner Tom Boddingham received this a gigantic 1,450 monster claw slipper from a Chinese manufacture who missed a decimal point in his order.
The 27 year-old from Ilford, East London, tried to order a special size 14.5 shoe to fit his one oversized foot, but ended up with a seven-foot long novelty claw from Monster Slippers. They sent him a normal sized slipper for his other foot.
The British-based company blamed a translation error in Hong Kong.
A company spokesman said: ‘They messed up and didn’t notice the decimal point, so here we are with a blinking great slipper that’s equivalent to a size 1,450.”
Boddingham, who can fit snuggly inside his enormous footwear, said: “it measures the same length as a grizzly bear or a family car".
He plans to sell it on eBay.
I hope he sells the regular-sized one with it. What the hell use is ONE slipper?
ReplyDeleteLol, you're hilarious!
ReplyDeleteHa ha...too funny! You too, Debra... :)
ReplyDeleteWould make great twin beds! Would have loved those as a kid.
ReplyDeleteI say "nuts" to eBay!
ReplyDeleteI'd keep it to sit in while watchin TV!
...Being that I (technically) only had one foot, my loving wife (you guessed it - Jane) would have to wait on me 'hand and FOOT'!
I would use is for a cat bed, They like to snuggle into something cosy and be up higher from the floor.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if they tried to charge him extra on the order?
I like everyone's suggestions and I personally think he should keep it - it makes a great sleeping bag :)
