And after the initial shock of the impaled foot is felt, you are unconciously
driven to lift your foot off the ground very abruptly, placing yourself in the
least stable standing position possible. Then after trying in vain to grab
hold of something, you fall over, either onto: 1) a pile of equally sharp
Lego, 2) one of your better creations, or 3) the tub that the rest of your
Lego is in, splitting the tub open and causing the contents to spill out
everywhere. The last one has actually happened to me on two separate occasions.
