Just Do It!
You can take the boy out of Glasgow, but you can never take the Glasgow humour out of the boy. My first thoughts on seeing this pair of old Nike trainers sitting forlornly on a bench at the Pike's Place Market, was a great Billy Connolly joke about two National Geographical photographers working in deepest Africa.
The Connolly joke goes that the two are out in the Serengeti plains on a lion shoot for the magazine. Suddenly, a lion raises its head and looks towards their hide, giving it "Rrrraaar!" "Grrrraaaarrarrrarrr!" Professional as ever, despite being rumbled, they continue clicking away; but when it starts to circle their hide, one of them pulls off his desert boots and slips on his Nikes. First photographer: "You'll never out run a lion in those. Second photographer: "F**k the lion, so long as I out run you I'll be ok!"
As Nike's tagline goes, "Just Do It!"
