"Excuse me, sir...Did you drop your shoe?"

In conversation with Becky today, the phrase "waiting for the other shoe to drop" came up, and it started me thinking. Whose shoe is it? Why is he dropping it? And why are we waiting for him to drop it?

I Googled the phrase, hoping to find the answers to these vital questions. Alas, I could not find them. I found the alleged origin of the phrase (although even this is unconfirmed), but it still doesn't tell me whose shoe has been dropped. Or even what happened after he dropped the first one.

So many questions...
