Default Boots and garden safety

You leave your boots outside and stand them up to reduce the chance of a
nasty (spider etc) crawling in over night: right? You shake them before
putting them on just in case and all will be well: right?

Except when they become a display platform for small birds who sit on the
edge. Apparently they face outwards to attract their mate, shoo off their
rival etc and their squitter therefore points inside. So guess where they
squit. Ain't nature grand.

Stop your complaining.
They could have been as big as emu's
Put a coupla stakes in the ground, and turn your boots upside down on those
Or cover em with a plastic bag.
PS please explain Whats a squitter?

Looks like the end of it you say?
I thought it it was a sqautter.
Having a squit.
No that would be squitter having a squat.
I'm almost convinced it would be easier to bring those boots inside.
Then you wouldnt need to worry about one nasty or another, or even have to
alert others to the norml behaviour of crazy critters that should have been
obvious....
