Why do people toss shoes to tangle on telephone wires?

I say to pretend for a moment you are a gaucho with a bola, that's why. To punk your little brother thus affecting your mastery over his foot-related discomfort.  I don't know.

* Australia means lost virginity
* for bullying purposes
* mafia message to cops about street
* drug dealing
* gang colors mark territiory
* mark the passing of gang members
* signature as graffiti,  "shoefiti"
* art
* used in art to depict urban decay
* mark the passing of life stages
* a form of memory
* world-wide phenomena 
* its become a meme (an idea that's behaves as a virus) 
* made you look
* mark quitting a job (memory) 
* idle mischief regarding old shoes ( memory) 
* street-type people using it as external memory
* leave a mark (communal memory)

There, now you don't have to watch the video.

I always just assumed that the shoes were up there to air them out.
