In Latin America the shoe-throwing incident is called the Zapatazo, literally The Big Shoe incident.<p/> <p/> My favorite comic strip, Tales of Cops and Robbers, starts every day with a seedy looking crook pulling out a gun and saying, “This is a robbery.” <p/> <p/> But the day after the shoe-throwing incident in Iraq, the robber shows up demanding money and the teller says, Well you don´t have a gun, I´ll have to speak to the manager.  The manager says, Our policy is not to hand over money unless the person has a gun. <p/> <p/> Whereupon a shoe flies at the manager´s head, then another. <p/> <p/> They hand over the money, and the robber is back home with his buddy, who asks, Where are your shoes.  To which he replies, Let´s just call them my weapons of mass destruction.<p/> <p/> Trino´s weirdly funny  official site is here.
