Why didn't Sauron just wear the one ring on his toe, then Isildur never would've been able to cut it off?

Honest question.

    Lol it seems nobody here has read The Silmarillion, so allow me to enlighten you. Sauron initially forged the One Ring to be worn on his pinky toe, but one day, he stubbed the toe on the corner of his coffee table and was unable to remove the ring for a week due to swelling. After several unsuccessful lawsuits against the coffee table manufacturer, the ring was reforged as the ring that Isildur would eventually cut off of Sauron's hand.

    • Why didn't he wear in on his ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)? The only way to get it off would be to seduce him.

        • Because Sauron was full of arrogance. He made it. He wanted to show off his power and bling. That’s evil for you.

          Seriously? You have to understand who Sauron WAS. To make a parallel to Christian theology (Tolkien was a devout Catholic and drew heavily from Catholicism in his storytelling): Sauron was a fallen ANGEL. The Chef Lieutenant to the Devil (Melkor/Morgoth) Himself, who was source of ALL Evil in the Universe of Middle-earth (Arda). So Sauron striding into battle at Dagorlad (Battle of the Last Alliance) to face human opponents and Elven opponents who were already becoming a pale reflection of the power they used to wield in the Eldar days.....was like one of the Princes of Hell crawling up...and leading a demon army against us. That Prince of Hell is not even going to take seriously the possibility that He might be harmed. The only reason Isildur was able to wound Saruon was because he was a Dunedain (a race of Human's divinely blessed as a reward for their loyalty to the Angels (Valar and Maiar) in the war do defeat the Devil (First Dark Lord, Morgoth in the War of Wrath)..... ...and he was using a sword forged by High Elves (Noldor....the sword Narsil) from the First Age. Which meant that the sword carried extremely powerful Elven "magic". So he was imbued with considerable magical power of his own...and was therefore able to catch Sauron by surprise...and take advantage of his over confidence in his own invulnerability.

            • Why didn't Frodo just ride an Eagle to Mordor, drop the ring, and get home in time for second breakfast (a fine tradition, btw)?

              • Or instead of a ring form it in the shape of a butt plug. Probs safest place to keep it.

                    If he could not toe the line, how do you expect him to put a ring on it?

                  • Because.... F--k I've got nothing. That's a surprisingly clever thing that Sauron could have done to prevent him ever losing the ring. Or at least wear it on the inside of his armor. I'll never fully understand that in the first movie.
