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

[Huette von Ahrens]

But if they are talking about spur-of-the-moment weapons used to either assault or defend,
then a whole lot more items need to be banned ... screwdrivers, scissors, knitting needles,
ice picks, chopsticks, letter openers and any glass bottles, which can be broken and used to maim.

And then what about blunt objects?  Crow bars, fireplace pokers, statues, trophies, paperweights,
frozen legs of lamb ... all have been used to murder people ...

And don't get me started about assaulting people with bananas or raspberries ...

Remember that while money talks, chocolate sings.
