I live in New York. About a month ago, I watched a barefoot guy try to walk through Hell's Kitchen. I looked away for about a minute, and when I glanced back, his friends were bringing him napkins to cover the huge bleeding gash in his foot.

Sure, he could have watched where he was going and made sure his soles were tough. I'd just rather minimize the chances of stepping on a sharp chunk of metal, or a syringe. I think I'm at my smartest when I'm not worrying about tetanus.
