A new bit of supposed nonsense has surfaced online, showing what looks like a lone flip-flop wearing a tiny blazer and taking notes beside a fountain in Vice City.

The footwear is seen nodding along to a sentence nobody can hear, which is being interpreted by keen-eyed gobshites as either a networking event or a cry for help.

Witnesses claim the item then attempted a power move by standing near a clipboard, as if it were about to become Interim Deputy Something Important.

Naturally, no one can confirm where the clip came from, because it is almost certainly the sort of thing cooked up by a person with too much time and a very small imagination.

Still, the internet has already decided the flip-flop is ‘playing the long game’, which is the sort of analysis that would get you laughed out of a post office and possibly a parish council.
