OT: Great moments in fashion–related E–mail

I was on the phone earlier today with a leave management person at
work. They had a PDF they wanted to send me, so they wanted my E–mail
address.
I decided to give them the shortest address that would work for me at
home, so I was giving him one that gets mail for the Web site.
After I said the following:
"SNEAKERS – like footwear"
..... and then ....
"PAIR – like a pair of sneakers"
He absoulutely had to ask about that combination. I told him that I
was indeed a sneakerhead.
It would have been more fun had I given him my SBC Yahoo one (but it
was longer, I was thinking keystroke ease here):
"The first three letters of 'NIKE' (like the shoe)."
"The last five letters of 'CONVERSE' (also like the shoe)."
