I had some strange thought crop up about Jesus' sandles. In every portrait Jesus is wearing sandals ok? So let's assume that Jesus walked the earth. Let's assume that he had maybe a dozen pairs of sandals during his 33 years alive. He must have discharged a good thirty pairs into the bin or the times equivalent. Surely even in those days people would have thought that the things Jesus cast aside would hold some value or at least a magical property to be kept. Imagine how much you would get on eBay for the footwear of a smelly teenage Jesus. Surely the leather of a sandal would have out lasted the papyrus which had been written on, which has managed to still be in a museum. What about his toothbrush? He brushed  his teeth right? His teeth are always White in the pictures and his hair carefully brushed making him resemble a hippy John Lennon.
During his teenage years did he ever stomp off to his hovel shouting at Joseph "you're not my real Dad"
As Joseph makes him study carpentry incase being the son of god doesn't pay off. "it's always wise to have a back up career son, now go brush your hair and clean your teeth.....do those old sandals still fit?"
Primark came 2000 years too late. "praise the lord for the two for one T-shirts"
