Are you a podaiatrist in your spare time? It's great to see those ankle breaking, ankle bitter toys off the ground where they can do so much under foot damage to the clumsy old boys in the middle of the night sneaking about on their fridge raid quests.
(Not that I would call that near 6 footer an ankle bitter to his face.)
If your first cut is too short... Take the second cut from the longer end... LBD
