| | | | What is more odd?
The fact that I just sewed together a broken shoelace
or
The fact that I'm a man who knows how to sew?

I once had a belt break at work, and I used 12AWG speaker wire as a temp fix until My lunch break.

Seriously though - being able to sew is a great skill regardless of whether you're a guy or a gal. I think I'd have probably just run down to Journey's and picked up a new set of
Vans laces though. They have the blue ones all the time at my local store.
