My dad bought it for me because he was always very politically incorrect. Actually he bought it for himself and I ended up taking it for myself.
I was around ten. I took it to school and shared it with my friends. We loved it even though he didn't understand many of the jokes.
The teachers ended up confiscating it. I was so pissed. They called my dad in. He was pissed. At them for wasting his time. That's probably where my First Amendment battle started.
So the answer to the joke as to why PRs wear pointed shoes:
To kill the cockroaches in the corners.
