Really? Huh. I figured Satan wore tasseled loafers, like so many of his minions.

Loafers to Satan are like garlic to vampires.
I like that there are 13 steps as well.

I put an inverse pentagram (in Sriracha) on about everything that I eat.
Then I say over whatever it is like Satan’s own, uh, tuna sandwich.
Then I eat it.

Satan never ties his shoes, because he’s evil!

When Satan came for my soul, I ran. He tried to chase after me , but fell over his shoe laces.

I have a strong memory from when I was about six years old of my grandfather completely losing his shit because I had my shoes laced the “wrong” way. He insisted that I immediately remove them and change the lacing to how he wanted it, which was itself a slightly unusual pattern.
It wasn’t until years later that I realised that his lacing pattern was designed so that the shoes/boots could be easily cut loose with a single slice.
He was a WWII vet; North Africa and Kokoda.

I have just read the story written by Haydn Green, relating the experience at Monte Cassino, when he was told not to cross his shoe laces, as he would be mistaken for a German and killed by the Ghurkhas…

That’s how I was taught (and the reason for it) in the student militia.
A lot of sites say this is also the proper method for dress shoes.

I’m thinking that the whole “we have a special method to do everything” has a lot more to do with indoctrination than anything else.
Ever read George MacDonald Fraser’s Quartered Safe Out Here?
There’s a bit where one of his squadmates gets machine-gunned and killed by their own sentries on his way back from taking a piss. He’d tucked his trousers into his puttees in a way that resembled how the Japanese did it.
