Well, no, that would be athletic sex with three fantastic women and no holes barred...but point taken!
The janitor at my post office once told me that I should never go in there without shoes because he once saw a small piece of broken glass in there, about five years earlier. I think I can handle it.
How quickly it can all unwind, though! You've managed to purchase a pack of 1st class stamps and a small roll of wrapping paper without collapsing into a sobbing, shudder-wracked heap on the floor, and you pop next door, and....overdrawn at the blood bank! Jesus Christ and his supportively-strapped sandals! But you do all you can do; you pull yourself up by the straps of your boots, apply a comforting blob of Vick's vapour-rub to the base of each nostril, and force yourself onwards.
I can remember when Reinhold Messner made the first successful sortie to a post office in the late 70s without using specialist gear or breathing equipment. A LOT of people thought he was going to perish on that outward approach, and that his abject corpse would have to be recovered at a later date, but Messner's almost demented single-mindedness saw him through, there and back. What a guy!
