I remember a mischievous physics teacher I had back in high school showed us a calculation proving that the rather large lady who taught biology next door could actually punch holes in light sheet metal if she wore narrow enough heels.
"Humans will only have one foot on the ground while walking. Estimate that the area of the heel on a man's shoe is 10 in2. When he walks, a 200 lb. man exerts 20 psi because the weight is supported momentarily by the heel. A 100 lb. woman exerts many more psi when she wears heels. Depending on the area of the heel, she can exert as much as 1600 psi under a 'stiletto heel' ¼ inch on a side. This explains why people with wood floors don't want women walking on them in high heels." - Bennett, Carole. 'Pressure versus Force: Landing on Ice!', 2003
Much better than the 7th grade science teacher I had who said two really noteworthy things: You will never have an original thought in your life. Everything has already been discovered followed by I never have a bathtub ring because I keep jiggling the water as it drains.

Michelle Obama could strike oil when wearing heels like Melania is known for.
Michelle Obama could lie on her tummy and think "happy thoughts" and strike oil.
I've never met these people and now I am one. Wild.
And you remember this very effective lesson!
