On kicking things..
 

As a precautionary note: If you happen to wear steel-toed boots all the time and kick things alot because things require kicking to test their stability and safety-tolerance and because they're simply there and in the way- don't make kicking a habit because, for example, one of these days a family dog might surprise the living, breathing hell out of you by jumping out of the dark and banging it's big-azz nose in your face. And you'll kick it out of habit while perhaps screaming "What the ****ing hell!". And if you happen to not be wearing your boots, it will hurt. Alot and make cracking sounds. So everyone who kicks remember- never take off your boots.


Think I broke 2 toes..dog is fine..

At least the dog is fine. Just think if you'd been wearing your boots ...

Yep, dog is great. But a dog is a dog. After the fact everything worked out fantastic. The dog broke its jumping on people habit I was trying to break for months and turns out I, the money maker, bill payer and food buyer, only fractured 1 toe and can still work with enough Advil (job requires toework far more then I ever thought possible- I mean they're toes..what's the point of them? Smash one, any one, with a hammer and you'll find out :) ).

However, at the fact, in the middle of the situation of being hit in the face by something, if the boots were on, the dog would have cracked ribs without regret.

But the point is, jump back 2 steps if possible and assess the situtation in a half second and don't just kick blindly..even if you're wearing steel-toed boots..

The point of toes is to show us how dumb we are when we think we can walk around in the dark without bumping into things.

LOL. Crap. NOW you tell me..
