Real Picture

Post by just bob »

This is a real picture from an upcoming local auction of a person holding a knife. Do you see any problems here? I'll bet it's sharp. What should the caption read?

And then Mom said, be careful or you'll cut your finger off with that knife? I'll bet there are funnier ones.

Indeed, something strange about the photo, but I can't put my finger on it.

The description should read, "Severed finger not included, knife only"! 8)

Back in the early 70"s I spent a few years working in a paper bag factory. In my training as a machine operator I was issued a number of tools including a small wooden dowel about a foot long. When threading the wide roll of kraft paper onto the bag machine we used the wooden rod to hold the paper against a large drum and then under carbon steel "tucker blades". The old timer that trained me was missing the index finger on not just one but both hands. Needles to say I carried that wooden dowel in my pocket daily at work. There was actually a clause in our insurance that paid X number of dollars for a lost finger joint.

Always a good idea to keep an index of you knives. Otherwise I don't see the point in this.

Apparently he put his finger somewhere he shouldn't have. When you snooze you loose.

Boy back in the late 70s I dated a couple girls that I could have benefited from working in a paper bag plant, because they were not the best looking, and I could have used a few of those bags to cover their faces.
