Besides, every man must be ready for an emergency, so we leave them out like a good fireman leaves his boots ready. Look at it this way, we are ready to save your life!

I thought you were supposed to leave your boots or shoes untied by the bed for that. At least that's the way we did in ROTC field training. (in effect, Basic for officer candidates)

After 33 years, I can still hear our fire marshall, whose name was, I kid you not, Geronimo, walking the corridors at lights out yelling "unlace your boots". :) )
