    This should be all you need. If you add a bit of Newton's first. ;)

    A LOT of pressure! Ha ha! Check it out;
    Pressure Under High Heels

    I remember a news story about a woman that stamped on a man's hand with high-heels and the prosecution was saying it was assault with a weapon!

    Nasty lady! Lol!
