Shoefiti Test of Air Purity?
The Terrorism and the Mafia blog explains that unevenly hung shoes from powerlines can symbolize “air” that is impure:
These two symbols appear to be the origin of the sign of the sports shoes hanging from overhead telephone lines or other electrical wires. It appears to be a Masonic sign. Someone who is with the Masons ties together the laces of a pair of old sports shoes and throws them up onto the overhead wires. It is highly unlikely that the shoes will hang evenly after the throw. They hang unevenly, and because they are old they symbolise “air” that is impure.
