Do shoes on Golarion have shoelaces?

My gnome prankster bard for Pathfinder Society really wants to know, so he can use his gnomish +4 stealth bonus to sneak under the Venture-Captain's desk during mission briefings and tie his shoelaces together. Or just tell people, "Your shoelaces are untied" when they aren't, just to follow up with "Made you look!"

Also, what other types of joke-related props can he walk around with? I haven't looked, but I'm assuming there are no whoopee cushions in Ultimate Equipment. I took the Collector trait for a +2 bonus on Perform (Comedy), and I figure a collection of small gag-related items is appropriate. Bear in mind that this is for Pathfinder Society, so I need RAW-only answers. I'm definitely expecting to walk into table variation on a regular basis with this one, but it's mostly just fluff and shouldn't affect anything mechanically, so I can probably get away with plenty of improvisation.

The simplest possible suggestion: make a Dirty Trick. If your Combat Maneuver works, then you can declare that the person had laces which you in fact did tie together. If you fail, it can turn out that the person was wearing the kind of boots that do not have laces.

Instead of a whoopee cushion, you can, say, inflate a goat's bladder or stomach and smacking people with it. Ask the person with Profession (Cook) to bake custard pies, juggle with balls or rings, or just crack jokes and commit your various acts of grievous bodily slapstick.

The untied shoelaces bit can also work well as a Bluff check to feint. As with all of that funny stuff, make it up yourself or steal it from other comedians.

He's an 8 strength gnome bard, not at all built for melee. Combat maneuvers would be a bad idea. Like I said, this is mostly just for fluff and social interaction. The main targets of my shoelace tying prank would probably be Ambrus Valsin and Drandle Dreng.
