Just realised that whenever I see the phrase "I wouldn't touch that with a ten foot pole" I automatically think of a ten metre pole. Like a comically long pole. A ten foot pole isn't all that long. That's slightly less than two of my body lengths. Not touching something with a ten foot pole still lets you get pretty close to it actually.
Ten foot pole: a spear
Ten meter pole: the center post of a big top circus tent
Ten foot pole: a soldier who wants it outside of stabbing distance
Ten meter pole: a clown who wants it out his fucking circus
