Every time I went into a shoe store as a kid, they’d whip that gadget out from the cashier’s desk or the back room…
First retail job was working at a shoe store. That thing was as essential as a driver’s license is to a truck driver.
And now I know what it’s called. I had no idea.
Now if they only tell us what those plastic tips on shoelaces are called…
Aglets, apparently. Huh.
I was bored.

The best version was on Justice League Unlimited. Question is being tortured for information. Bad Guy – “Tell me everything you know!” Question – “The plastic tips on shoelaces are called ‘aglets.’ Their real purpose is … far more sinister.”
