As the story went, after he reported to federal prison (for those unfamiliar, yes, he did federal prison time), he decided to keep himself busy with all manner of PT, to include daily runs. On a cinder track. Without shoes. Or socks. It was said that he would walk back into the facility leaving bloody footprints. Understandably, the prison staff had no sense of humor about that. They didn’t make him stop running barefoot, but they did require him to put on footgear before entering the building. So I asked him if it was all true.
He immediately leaned back and swung a big gnarly thing that looked more like an ancient tree root than a foot up on the table. He took off the sandal, then pulled out a wicked folding knife, snicked it open, and handed it to me. Gesturing to his heavy callus, he said: “Go ahead.”
I will now blame the Killian’s, but right at that moment, it seemed to be a perfectly good idea to stab the founder of Seal Team Six with his own knife.
I went ahead and did it. Thankfully, I didn’t go overboard, or else he probably would have torn my head off and kept it for an ashtray. The callus was unbelievable. The man had developed honest-to-heaven natural foot armor.
