Don't Tread on Me |
| Ever notice how feet don't get any
respect? They're the bottom of the barrel as far as body parts go. Other body parts are
highly praised, but not feet. Feet are the last to get recognized and the first to get
criticized. You always hear people say things like:"You have beautiful eyes",
"Look at the arms on that guy", "Gee, your hair smells
terrific", or "She has a great pair of ... ". Oh, but feet. The only things
you hear about feet are: "Is that your feet I smell?", "Those are some
nasty looking feet", or "Man, do my feet hurt". See what I mean? Well, we felt it was high time feet got some positive exposure. Besides, feet do most of the work. They get you from here to there, climb stairs, and in some cases are pushed to the limit just supporting the weight of their owners. So what is to follow is kind of our "Ode' de Feet". A celebration of our feet and the places they've been. |
