By the way, prior to the Industrial revolution, shoemakers employed lesser minions to go round collecting dog poo from the streets of London which contains an enzyme which softens the leather for making shoes. So the jobby is thus smeared onto shoes as they were being born to make them nice and soft. Were you prepared for that, ie to be smeared in dog jobbies, when you decided to be reincarnated as a shoe?
>....the streets of London which contains an enzyme which softens the leather for making shoes...
ermm.. that is, not that the streets of London contained this enzyme, but some of surface coating......
...which makes me think, what about the leather for pipe-bags and bellows? Did it similarly merit such treatment?
