A man in northern Greece has received a suspended one-month prison sentence for repeatedly sneaking onto his neighbors’ properties to smell their shoes. The man was arrested before dawn on Oct. 8 in the small town of Sindos, after a neighbor found the defendant in his front yard sniffing his family’s shoes, which had been left outdoors to air. The 28-year-old Greek man told the court that he was unable to explain his behavior, which, he said, had caused him great embarrassment. There had been at least three similar incidents in the past six months, despite neighbors having asked the defendant’s family to get him to stop.
* He’s Greek, He’s attracted to Feeta cheese.
* Stinky shoes left outside overnight to air. Plus they keep the raccoons away.
* What an idiot. He could have a job for life working at a bowling alley at the shoe rental, and no one would be the wiser.
* I say, never judge a man until you’ve walked a mile in his shoes, and then sniffed them silly.
