[QUOTE="riff raff, post: 464646, member: 1771"] As an Army brat and son of a retired SGM, my brother and I were well acquainted with shining shoes. In our house, Saturday was "shoe day" when all of his and our shoes were shined and then inspected. If they met his approval and chores were completed, the rest of the day was ours. I'm still a wing-tip guy for work and while I shine my shoes and boots, it's not with the same frequency. My father is now legally blind, but sometimes I'm still embarrassed by my shoes even though I know he can't see them any longer. Of course I still shine his Sunday shoes for him. [/QUOTE]
