I’m only half joking here: I hope it was one of the cheap, restaurant owned kitchen knives, and not one of the chef’s personal knives! Of course, any knife will clean, but can you imagine picking up your $500 Wusthoff and seeing THAT play over and over again in your mind’s eye?

Would you toss your favorite $500 knife if some bozo snatched it from your kitchen to de-penis himself?

It would make an interesting insurance claim.

The knife was rendered useless?

Yes, that is correct.

How so?

Well a crazy man snatched it from the kitchen and cut off his penis with it.

Does it still cut?

Well, yes it does, but I can’t use it.

Why not, you can just wash it.

Ok, I’ll make you a sandwich with it, and you eat it.

Ummm… we’ll pay for to replace it sir.

I’ll have the pepperoni please. I prefer penis that is still attatched to the original, preferably not insane, owner.

Which technically qualifies him for a rare living Darwin Award.

He’ll probably be committed to a psych hospital after he recovers. I wonder what they’ll do with him on pizza day…  
[/QUOTE]

But if he’s still got the ability to produce sperm, then they could be acquired and a test tube baby made. I think it’s more of an “honorable mention” award myself.

ETA: Yes, **Whynot** , I would. I might use the technique **Zebra** mentions to get a tax write off for a replacement though.

That’s what you get for buying those overpriced “premium” knives. :rolleyes:

If the knife in question had been from the Miracle Blade III Perfection Series, or even the Showtime collection by Ronco, not only would the owner have saved over $400, the knife would still have sliced cleanly through a tomato afterwards!

True enough. He would have to have brought the knife down a little lower to finish the job.

Then we could add meatballs to that pizza.

[QUOTE=Beware of Doug]  
Since _zizi_ (only two z’s) is French babytalk for vagina, maybe he had sexual reassignment in mind.

Of course, had he been in West Bend, WI, he might have selected [Dick’s Pizza](http://local.yahoo.com/details?id=16695997)…or in the Lake Tahoe area, any of several [Nik’n’ Willie’s Pizza](http://laketahoe.citysearch.com/profile/38047265/south_lake_tahoe_ca/nik_n_willie_s_pizza.html) locations in which to nick his willy.  
[/QUOTE]

I have never heard “zizi” used as slang for vagina… here in Quebec, it would be understood to mean penis.

Which is exactly why I cracked up when I saw the picture of the restaurant in the first link.
