My theory is either laziness, or lack of imagination. Either way, once they click send, they have shot themself in the foot.


The old phrase mentioned here, "Shooting themselves in the foot" comes from the wild west-era custom of loading only 5 bullets in a six-shooter, with the pistol's hammer safely resting on the empty bullet chamber. Since the older six-shooters didn't have the modern safety shield between the hammer and the bullet, it was much safer than having the hammer resting on a live round, which could cause the very possibility of shooting one's self in the foot. A .45-caliber bullet can do a lot of damage down there.
