[FABF23] Bullies drape Hans Moleman’s shoes over telephone wires whiles he’s still in them.
Fb. Street lore has it that shoes draped over telephone wires indicate the neighborhood is open to drug trafficking.

Tb.* Many Marines who are released from active duty will throw their boots over the telephone lines in celebration that they will never have to wear them again. {jk}
