[Sca-cooks] English Doctors want to ban pointy knives...

[rbbtslyr]

Are you sure the article wasn't written by John Cleese?  I remember reading somewhere in a book on odd murders some one in a Butcher shop or Restaruant did kill someone with a frozen leg of meat, species I don't know, but it was in an oddity book, another person was gored to death by being impaled on a trophy horn, which did break off inside the person.

  Thank you very much!  I was wracking my poor brain trying to pull the 
  original short story information, didn't manage it so I cited the TV 
  reference.  

  Meanwhile, back at the pointy knives... that's crap and the British 
  Government knows it, according to that article.  They seem to consider 
  that the existing laws already cover the situation.  On the other hand, 
  can't you see bands of roving teens, wearing cook's whites in order to 
  justify their long knives?
