SubscriberWe used to call thongs " gettas " in the Navy. It took until this article to know why.
The shoe known in Australia as a “thong” is one of the oldest styles of footwear in the world.
Worn with small variations across Egypt, Rome, Greece, sub-Saharan Africa, India, China, Korea, Japan and some Latin American cultures, the shoe was designed to protect the sole while keeping the top of the foot cool.
Australians have long embraced this practical but liberating shoe — but history shows we can’t really claim to it as our own.

I’m pretty sure the dinosaurs died out when they stopped gathering food and started having meetings to discuss gathering food
A bookshop is one of the only pieces of evidence we have that people are still thinking

I remember now an uncle of mine back in the 1950's would make a rather awful thong out of an old car tyre.
.....and the best thong is......
the original "surfer joe"....
of which I usually buy a couple of pairs from a shop in Adelaide on Marion Rd which last a few years.
Many manufacturers make a copy these days but they are not as good as the real McCoy.
You will never get a blow out in a surfer joe.

Loved my surfer Joe's. Can only find a copy nowadays named ROCKO'S. Similar but not quite as wide.

Well there yer go. We learn something different every day. I always thought it was because Aussies were too thick to tie shoelaces that thongs were invented.

I suppose I could go and live with rellies in Sidney, Aukland, Zurich or San Diego but they don't want me either.Melbourne used to be a nice place especially around the bay road at Mentone. Maybe they'll have me back.

Actually I went off the Salvos after seeing 2 band members having fun behind a tree when the music stopped.
