Which country will have the most feet washed ashore?

It's unfortunate, but if this ever ends up in court, none of these victims will have a leg to stand on.

buckeye,

I needed a good laugh today and that was definitely it!

Cheers,

...someone is becoming an elite "feetist"...

i'm going out on a limb with this footnote... do you suppose any of the feet will be found by tow boats? :)

I am stumping for Canada!

YaY Canada! ...getting all this attention is quite a feet.

I think this question should be localized for our non-USA-centric friends:

Which country will have the most meters washed ashore?

Severed foot found on shore

Let's here it for "Other/Tie" !

"Late Monday afternoon, deputies from the Presque Isle County Sheriff Department responded to a call from a resident of Hammond Bay who said they had found what appeared to be a human foot.

"Upon arrival, deputies took possession. The foot was encased in a sock and a sandal, according to Michigan State Police Detective Ron Nightingale from the Cheboygan Post."

I think its time for this question to accept DeFeet! I think that its time that we pull ourselves up by our bootstraps (if you dont have a boot due to lack of foot then buckle works to) and do something. We need to be a Foot ahead of the competition!....... Foot! Ok i think i covered the foot jokes. I just had to get my foot in the door on that one. Get a good steady foot hold in the joke area.

One thing about this situation in Canada, it give the local aread a foothold in the public eye...

Ha ha! good one!

Yea! Another foot for the yanks!

Heh.... what if we don't want the foot?

@ryanj
that's true. we may not want it. after all, it could be a Canadian foot.
which brings up a very important, rule-debating, career-ending, potential hostile argument.

If a Canadian foot washes up on an American beach, does Canada get credit or does the US get credit?

We need to resolve this right away. I've got bokuu $H riding on the outcome.

After discussing this on getsatifaction.com , we DO WANT any and all Canadian Feet. In addition, we're most willing to take feet from any country, even Switzerland. (that's you kruijs) ;)

question is "Which country will have the most feet washed ashore?"
not "FROM Which country will the most feet wash ashore?"

its plain simple. therefor Switzerland is not an option (you know, no shore, just mountains (and Heidi))

@kruijs, you could pack one and send it to one of your coastal buddies... you know, in the spirit of keeping this question alive. :0

So, the updated statistics:

Canada: 6
US: 2
Sweden: 1

@ cognos -- it may well have been a Canadian foot ...

Foot found in U.S. could have floated from Canada: Police

@newswrangler : is the swedish foot you reporeted on in comment 16 a new swedish foot?

if so, we to update the stats.

I guess we will have put an asterisk (*) next to the US Count. ;)

ok. guess that was an old foot in sweden.

So, the updated stats ...

Canada: 6
US: 2 *
Sweden: 1

* includes at least one Canadian foot.

@cognos

yeah, let's see where I can get one from. Then I'll throw it in the Lake Constance, which is just 15min away, it will flow down the Rhine than, which opens in the North Sea and than it could wash back ashore right there.

That's simple.

Still in need of a foot in a sneaker, without a leg or a body attached.
