Flip.
Flop… need I say more?
Ira and George Flop threw some ideas
around and eventually the two inventors came up with the revolutionary
idea of placing the support strap from a piece of foam between the first
two toes on your feet then having it loop loosely around the foot and connect
again with the foam.
Surprise.. April Fools..
The writer of the above article informs
us.
"I must confess that the history
of the flip-flop according to my column is completely false; most musicians
will see a similarity between the names of my flip-flop inventors and the
names of the famous musical brothers George and Ira Gershwin. It was not
meant to be anything more than a comical spoof of the history of the flip-flop."
