Flipping through the latest issue of Interpol Footwear Daily, Izzy learned that in Holland some police officers wear wooden clogs (appropriately called klompen in Dutch). He imagines that clog-wearing cops running in pairs must sound like a single officer on horseback.
Proof positive that there is no crime in the Netherlands – there’s no way you chase criminals in these.

What are you talking about? They can take off their shoes and chuck them fiercely at a criminal. They’re weapons in themselves! Didn’t you see that one Jackie Chan movie where he dispatches justice with a pair of clogs?

Wouldn’t a cop in pursuit sound like a 2-legged horse? Or two empty halves of coconuts being banged together?
(No swallow jokes, please!)

They could have used these shoes in “Spamalot”!
