[QUOTE="Bonanzadriver, post: 487646, member: 4106"] Great Thread! Growin up, in the 60's and 70's, I used to sit on the back porch with my pop and help him polish his cowboy boots. When I enlisted in the Navy I found that I and the other recruits from the Philippines were the only ones in our company that knew how to polish leather shoes. After the navy (81-87) I was a suit and tie guy until about 2 years ago. Polished my Johnson & Murphy's every weekend throughout that entire period. My wife still finds it amusing that I have way more shoes in the closet than she does. I'm not exactly sure but I think I've got somewhere over 20 pair of dress shoes, not to mention sneakers, boots, flip flops and a dozen or so pair of golf shoes. To this day I can't stand to have scuffed shoes. Call it OCD or anal retentive, I just feel like I've got a mustard stain on my shirt if my shoes are roached out. (lawn mowing sneakers excluded) :) [/QUOTE]
