My husband has prehensile feet. He can also throw things with his foot with great accuracy and poor judgement. When we go to picnics I make him keep his sandals on because beer does not impact his aim, just his choice of target. I do this to keep the peace. I am personally of the opinion that if you are capable of having a few beers then picking up acorns with your toes and hucking them at things you should be encouraged to do so.
