Holy Socks Batman

Alicia: Nice socks.
(they have 5 holes by the toes)
Joe: Aw thanks.
Alicia: Didn't you just get new socks?
Joe: These are my working socks. I'm doing laundry today.
Alicia: So you wear those socks when you "work" doing laundry.
Joe: Nah, I mean my good ones are in the laundry.
Alicia: So is there a hole for each toe on purpose?
Joe: Yeah, these are custom made.

Shoveling

Some names have been changed for anonymity

Joe: Yeah, I went out there yesterday evening to shovel & it was a job, but I was glad I did it then because today, the part I didn't shovel, I can't even move it.... it's just ice. The guy up the street has been out there for about 2 hours today working at his. He ain't makin much headway. And ol' Stan, you know how he moves. (joe does a slow motion of putting a shovel down, scooping, tossing, one swipe at a time) He might as well have a g#ddman spoon out there.

Joe getting the paper in an ice storm

Alicia: So how are you doing, how are you handling this ice?
Joe: Well, it's okay. I stepped outside on the front porch to go get the paper & I could feel it was real slick under my feet, so I went back inside to get my shoes on.

(Every day of Joe's life he goes out to get the paper without any shoes on... ice is no exception apparently)

Alicia: So did you walk down the driveway or the grass?
Joe: Wait a minute, what the hell am I talking about? I didn't put any shoes on, I just went in my barefeet down the grass.
