RE: G-dog's weekend-engagement week five: Mystery item - [Win HIVE]

I know it looks like a smoking pipe. Mayans where great smokers as many other native Americans but that is not the use of this tool. They were also one of the first shoe-wearing tribes and this is the first shoe fit tool. They offered this tool to get you wasted first and then be able to fit a small size tool to big feet as there was only one size fits all shoe business back then. As you were wasted you were unable to complain when the shoestore owner was squeezing your foot into the shoe :)

Sort:  

It's all quite obvious when you explain it really...I never realised the Mayan show industry was one size fits all however I guess it works from a lean-manufacturing perspective...The getting wasted so you don't careaspect is genius!

Those Mayans had it worked out for sure!
