This made the local papers because a local women was involved. I am more interested in her reason for having the knife than the security breakdown issue. Enjoy.
Well, seems there is a perfectly good explanation right in the article. She was going on a blind date ealier 
, went packing just in case :eek: , and forgot to take it back out :smack: .
You know how hard it is to get a good steak knife in a restaurant these days. 
OK, you take a butcher knife on a blind date “just in case”? Just in case of what? Just in case you come across a side of beef you need to butcher? Just in case you don’t like the date you can go all Loreena Bobbitt on him? Just in case the date’s so bad that you feel the need to slash your wrists rather than endure another moment ? :smack:
Must’ve been a big purse.
I should have said “I am more interested in her stated reason for having the knife.”
I have a few problems with this. She had a butcher knife in her purse:
- what’s to keep it from cutting its own way out of her purse?
- what’s to keep it from cutting up other stuff in her purse?
- what’s to keep it from cutting HER when she’s digging around in her purse?
- what was her plan–if the blind date attacked her, she’d say “excuse me, can you wait while I dig around in my purse for a butcher knife to fight you off with?”
- a knife, for Og’s sake? Doesn’t she realize it’s more likely to get taken away from her used on her than her successfully using it on an attacker?
Yeah, I mean *everyone *knows you fight off creepy blind dates with blunt instuments. :rolleyes:
