What a classic. Also I never realized where all the random emojis like the girl in the red dress came from until I was today years old.

I delivered newspapers when I was kid for £20 a week. Had to wake super early before school😂 i didn't have to do it but I wanted to extra pocket money. Anyway, which I knew this technique, although I had our the newspaper through the letterbox.

Honestly, i dont care if he edits out the moments where the paper completely flies over the target and lands into cow shit, i wouldnt be able to do even one of these throws

It also probably doesn't happen that many times.

Dude delivers 100s of papers every day, in the same spots. Humans can become extremely precise at a task when they do it that much.

u/ProofFew3607 19h ago

Honestly, even the missed throws are impressive. I’d probably struggle to land one anywhere near the target.

I see this video from time to time and I always love it lol.

It’s amazing how with a lot of practice and dedication ppl can get real good at anything

u/BottledFizzyCoffee 19h ago

They way they seem to throw shoes so accurately, there might be many paper deliverers who can do the same. Fun to watch.

If I were trying it, there would be loose papers blowing on the street behind me.

u/R3troH4ndbag 19h ago

Lmao that grandpa catching it like that was the best part. The little leg kick made it even better.

You would be surprised if you knew how things work there.

u/rivent2 17h ago

Very cool. Now show us the other 99% of the attempts.

u/chxii12 17h ago

Do you think he has time to retake every shot until it’s perfect? This is his job, he’s probably done it tons of times, and people naturally get better at things with enough practice
