I find if I don't tell the older folks to enter their PIN number, they think I'm saying "pen" (since of course they are hard of hearing) which confuses their feeble old brains. If they are young enough looking though I'll tell them to just enter their PIN.
Seriously, it is. I mean, most of us women will have to at one point in our lives, at some fancy occasion. There are so many women who don't know how to walk in them. Of course, many shoes of all types aren't made well, so part of the horror stories you hear of heels breaking is shoddy craftsmanship. Sure, you can promote flats all you want, but any straight woman (or drag queen or transvestite male...making sure to cover all my bases here) will admit that wearing high heels makes them feel sexier and more feminine...as long as we don't have to wear them for too long. They really are hellish to wear after a few hours. It's why most formal dances/wedding receptions most gals end up going barefoot.
Now I'm all for banning pointy-toed female shoes, flats or heels. Feet aren't pointy. And it's why older women nowadays have hammer toes, because they were forced to wear pointy-toed shoes in past decades. They squish your toes, and that isn't good.
This makes me think of my High School Physics class when our Teach said to keep an eye out for deep black round ruts in the floor, from ladies high heels (My school was built in the 50's). 120 lbs (or so) in that one tiny dot. Think about it, won't you? Floor ruiners they are....huh, I'm kind of listing pros and cons of the damn things at this point. ramblings at 2:30 in the morning when I should be asleep.
Most of my dreams are in video games these days I play so much. The worst is if I've been playing a FPS and I see a crosshair in my dream. Then I know I've been gaming too much, and I start reading a book instead.

So, I guess you don't work at the Department of the Redundancy Department.
