Twenty-five Sense

As an Eagle Scout, I have spent my whole life adhering to the motto, "Be Prepared."  So I suppose I should have been more impressed as we wandered through the airport on our way to dinner, dressed in our Sunday best.

"Do you have a quarter?" Ethan asked me.

"No," I said.

"If only I knew where I could get a quarter," he said.  "Oh, wait, I have some in my shoe."

"Oh, good," I replied.  "Wait, what?"

Is that why you're walking funny?  If you had to keep your quarters in your shoe, dare I ask what you're keeping in your pockets?
