IAMI -- State troopers are looking for a charity to take thousands of shoes that were dumped on a Miami expressway, tying up rush hour traffic.

Lt. Pat Santangelo says the Florida Highway Patrol received a call about the shoes Friday morning.

Santangelo says he's not sure where the shoes came from. There were no signs of a crash and no one stopped to claim them. He says he hopes someone will take them because he doesn't want to send them to the dump.

Workers using a front-end loader and a dump truck were able to quickly clear at least one lane by sweeping all the shoes to shoulder, but delays were expected until they could all be removed.

23. Dear God, I hope you're joking

If anybody in DC is stupid enough to disrupt the inauguration of a President-Elect as popular as Obama...that will create such a backlash against the people responsible, it won't help anyone's cause at all. :(

25. Isn't Warren already a disruption?

14. As for the Florida Highway Patrol.... what a bunch of dumb asses!!!!

If those shoes were anywhere near good condition I'd would think a local charity or Goodwill could take those shoes.

15. FHP has their thinking cap on. Did you read the first sentence?

[LiberalFighter]

20. Ahhhh my apologies to the FHP. I read it too fast and just saw take them to the dump.

16. Maybe someone really, really disapproves of the freeway.

Or maybe they were on their way to Texas to bring a house-warming gift to Dubya.
