Someone had arranged in advance for Rock's stinky feet. As the huge Hash House Harrier party neared its conclusion, Rock found his white hightop Chuck Taylors near one of the massive columns on a concrete walkway that led to the capitol building's banquet hall. After he sat to put them on, a former Little Rock Hash matriarch named Barbara Sutherland picked up a slip of paper, apparently torn from one of Rock's reporter notepads and placed on the walkway beside his shoes. She glanced at it and laughed as she handed it to Rock.
Someone had written a reminder on it to have him change into a new pair of Chuck Taylors before he headed home.
"Change your shoes," said Barbara, as a crowd complicit in the humor of Rock's hygienic flaws gathered near them. "You gotta know how bad your feet stink, right?"
Everyone laughed, which served to make him feel adored.
