Would you slit your Achilles Tendon with a screwdriver for a new pair of shoes (of your choosing)? A new pair of shoes, that is, every week for the rest of your life. How’s that for raising the stakes?
Rules:
1.) No anesthesia or medical attention for twelve hours.
2.) I pick the screwdriver.
3.) The shoes cannot be filled or plated with valuables.
4.) You will be compensated for the medical attention, but wave the right to legal action in cases of gangrene, etc.
5.) One (1) British manservant will be provided for shopping assistance.

What the hell would I do with a new pair of shoes every week?

Put them in a closet and wait until your house is featured on MTV “Cribs”.

Would the shoes have to be the exact same brand and color and size and whatnot? Or would you be able to choose ANY new pair of shoes each week? An important distinction.
Also, how exactly would this British manservant help one shop for said shoes?

1.) ANY
2.) However you’d like him to.

Hmmm…HOWEVER I’d like him?
(devious grin)
Oh yeah, you know what I want from him…

Shoes are intended to protect one’s feet from the elements and repeditive stresses of walking. If my Achilles tendons were cut I could not walk. Why would I even WEAR shoes then? If only one tendon was cut I could still walk with assistance … but the additional strain on my working foot would make cute, but less practical “fun/pretty” shoes an impossiblity. So, No. That would suck.
