I’ve never actually had one myself. My feet are so ticklish that if someone touches them they’ll probably lose their front teeth. I can barely paint my own toenails.
Haaaahaaaa jnc, good one. We bought our son a kindle for his birthday a couple of weeks ago and my daughter-in-law jokingly said yesterday, “thanks a lot, we lost him again”. I should have told her to go get a pedicure……lol
Oh, this is perfect, lms, and jnc hit the nail right on the head!
But I’m sure we would have also have to go far into the weeds on the constitutionality of “separate but equal leisure activities” or something to make it a fully-developed ATiM moment! 🙂
Kevin–my uncle, the retired Marine, used to go get pedi’s with my aunt and three cousins. He was a real man! 😉

Separate but Equal doesn’t factor into it. It’s a question of whether or not the federal government can directly mandate pedicures under the Commerce Clause due to their aggregate effect on the economy, or do they have to do so indirectly via a tax on ugly toenails?
I think it’s going to have to be a tax on ugly toenails (I get flowers on mine and they’re quite cute by the time it’s all said and don) rather than the Commerce Clause, as I’ve never crossed a state line to get a pedicure. Although I’m sure the nail polish does–does that count?
I’ve also seen some toenails that I would have liked to have been able to mandate a pedicure for, or at least invoke my right to not be subjected to cruel and unusual punishment having to look at them!
I’m down for a pedicure, if someone else is paying. 😉

The proper ATiM response from the two guys would have been “Our playing video games doesn’t prevent you from getting a pedicure”.
