I hope not. I have about 20 pair.

Just about the only danger happens when someone leaves the party after having a few too many Primos, and take the wrong pair of rubbah slippahs.

What if they are made of leather? One of the things I noticed in S. FL is that people that live here usually wear decently made flip flops, while tourists are more likely to wear drug store flip flops, but when I was in HI I noticed a lot of people wearing drug store flip flops by a brand called "Locals" and I think most of them really were locals.

I grew up hearing both names in NJ.

I can't figure that out either. Fortunately, I mostly use Pandora, so it's not that big of an issue.
