NOTE FROM KIM:
Adidas has developed a running shoe with a
computer chip inside that adjusts the cushioning
level as the wearer runs.


The Top 8 Features of the
Computerized Running Shoe


8> Works with either CAT-5 or twisted pair of laces.

7> You have to throw out all your old socks due to incompatibility.

6> The same shoes purchased a week after yours for the same price let you run 10% faster.

5> Built in History function allows the shoes to guide you down old familiar paths.

4> Not enough RAM for a virus checker means it’s very susceptible to athlete’s foot and gout.

3> It’s featured in the new Kurt Russell Disney kid flick sequel, “The Computer WAS a Tennis Shoe.”

2> To reboot, you give it the “Three-Toed Salute.”

and the Number 1 Feature of the Computerized Running Shoe…

1> You think you’re going to wear them to do lots of important things, but you end up mostly walking into porn shops.
