yeah I know you did not ask!
There is an old Jeff Foxworthy joke about a fellow with big ears, a big nose, big hands and big feet. Jeff after describing him vividly goes on to say he better be packing as he sure is ugly.
Of course, there are all sort of anatomical formulas with various body parts used in an attempt to guesstimate the size of a man’s “package”, big ears, big noses, big hands and big feet being the most popular.
For most of my adult life I have worn either a size 10 or a size 10 1/2, depending on the brand or style. In my decrepitude the size has crept up to an 11. Sunday I bought a new pair of Sperry boat shoes and they were a size 11 1/2. It is common for the shoe size to get bigger with age as the feet tend flatten. However… I have not seen the corresponding increase to validate the formulas which does not hardly seem fair to me. And am I now guilty of false advertising?
