I think that, were I wealthy, I might consider such a proposition. Stubbing your toe hard really does fucking hurt something brutal.

I would be willing to take a significant portion of Penn Jillette's wealth in return for covering everything in his house near foot level with memory foam, and putting steel toes in his shoes.

I sleep on memory foam...I don't think that'd do the trick for the "quick strike" of a stubbed toe. And steel toes doesn't work, because I like the slipper mode and steel toes in slippers defeats the purpose of slippers.

Stubbing my toe isn't that occurrent of an injury for me.

Rolling my ankle, especially while playing sports, on the other hand happens like all the time.

Stubbing your toe is one of the few times that a man is allowed to cry.

In this whole thread, you can replace "stubbing your toe" with "stepping on a lego"

Stepping on Lego's, Stubbing toes, and hitting funny bones aren't funny at all. Crying, cursing, and/or howling are all perfectly acceptable reactions. How about opening a cabinet door, doing something else, and turning back to smack the cabinet door with your face? That ranks right up there also. :shock:
The worse stubbed toe involved 8 year old me about to pull open a bedroom door when a cousin opened it first, towards me. It not only stubbed my big toe, but ripped the toenail off! :o :sick: :cry:
Haven't gone barefoot much since then! :D

Stepping on a lego has nothing to do with idiotic furniture rearrangement for supposed mystic magical affects. However, stubbing your toe on an idiotically place sofa, does.

You need to strengthen your calves.

I don't think working out his livestock is going to help his ankles. And you really shouldn't tempt the young man into a life of cow-tipping.

Growing up on a farm myself, the young cows were calves. Are you trying to tell me that calves are of a different species than cows, rather than simply being young versions of the same species? Or are you trying to say that all calves are bulls?

After branding the calves are mostly cows and steers.

No, I'm trying to say half the calves are bulls.

I would think that my calves are above average for athletes yet I have an abnormally high rate of rolling my ankles.

I wasn't disagreeing with you. (Notice the quotes.)
