Excuse my naivity, but what h377 kind of question has to be formed to be inappropriate about feet? (I'm not saying the event didn't happen.)

If I don't want to know, that is fine with me.

I was wondering the same thing -- and I came to the same conclusion as you: I don't want to know!

(PS. it's N-a-i-v-e-t-e)

Well, did you know that the Hebrew Bible (aka Old Testament) uses 'feet' as a euphemism for genitalia?

Exodus 3:5
And he said, Draw not nigh hither: put off thy shoes from off thy feet, for the place whereon thou standest is holy ground.

Deuteronomy 2:28
Thou shalt sell me meat for money, that I may eat; and give me water for money, that I may drink: only I will pass through on my feet

2 Kings 13:21
And it came to pass, as they were burying a man, that, behold, they spied a band of men; and they cast the man into the sepulchre of Elisha: and when the man was let down, and touched the bones of Elisha, he revived, and stood up on his feet.

Psalm 105:18
Whose feet they hurt with fetters: he was laid in iron:

Isaiah 52:7
How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace; that bringeth good tidings of good, that publisheth salvation.

Ron Jeremy does too.....

Apparently, this guy had been previously arrested for similar behavior. From: http://www.newsday.com/news/local/lo...,3460819.story

"Yesterday, Marks' attorney, Amy Cobert Haber, confirmed that her client was arrested in May 2005 for similarly approaching young girls and asking them about their feet.
In one case, police allege that he went up to a girl walking her dog, took off her shoe and massaged her foot."

Many people have asked for background checks for coaches, officials, and others involved in youth sports, but it looks like an initial check upon hiring would not be enough.

No, I didn't. On the face of it, your statement seems ludicrous; but I'm willing to be proven wrong. (I'm guessing that there might be something in Song of Solomon.) Do you have any examples and/or commentary from an appropriate authority?

I have heard of such a thing as a foot fetish, although it seems pretty silly to me.
