  17. …time to Federally regulate scissors I suppose, we’ll start with “common sense” measures like requiring they be made blunt, then dull, then out of rubber, then move on to scissor registration to try to control the flood of “assault scissors”, because if it saves ONE life, its TOTALLY WORTH IT…/s

    …(The government will keep THEIR scissors as they are, of course. They are trained professionals and you can trust them to use them properly and always for YOUR benefit…/s)

  20. @SNS – don’t forget the ultimate goal: scissor confiscation.

    And speaking of “…measures like requiring they be made blunt…”

    My company requires us to use blunt tipped blades in our box cutters. Don’t know if that is OSHA mandated or corporate lawyer mandated, but regardless of whoever it is, they think we’re too stoopid to play with sharp objects.

    Funny you should mention your travails with box cutters…

    …setting aside the obvious issues with box cutters on 9.11, there DO seem to be people who have GREAT difficulty with them.

    My current employer has many different needs for cases to be opened by many different people, but many of these people are not, shall we say, “native English speakers”, and therefore seem to have some difficulty with comprehension of instructions, and indeed sometimes do not seem familiar with edged steel technology in general. This has driven my company to a long and not particuarly fruitful search for box cutters that are DESIGNED to cut ONLY boxes, going from the sliding single edge razor blade to things like the plastic ones with the thumb knob that you could eject a short blade out the end and CRACK IT OFF to get a NEW one (no, just “no”), “lizard knives” that only expose blade when put down on a surface to move the spring-loaded guard aside (or when the person thumbs it open, or breaks it off, or stuff like that) to “trapped blade” knives that have the blade moulded into the knife so they have to push the PLASTIC through the box tape before they can bring the blade to bear (or when they crack the lower molded guard off exposing the jagged blade) to things that look like modified seatbelt cutters, to…

    …you get the idea. There actually ARE people who can’t be trusted with anything with an edge.

    and I’ve seen that from ANOTHER angle, too.

    ..in my former life on the li’l red truck, I had many a reason to make a journey to a mega market (wich has since gone out of business) that was in my district for a wide variety of reasons that generally had to do with human stupidity, but there were two nights a month in particular we ended up there bascially all night.

    One was when the bannanas were delivered. This was because the bannanas came with tarantulas which, while not really dangerous to people, certainly DID hurt when they BIT you, and there WAS some possibility of allergies (plus they were, you know, big and scary looking), so we would take the unschooled (it was a high turnover position so THAT never changed) to the hosptial to give the docs something to laugh about for a change because of the way people acted around spiders (and yes, the doctors DO laugh at your fears in private. Don’t worry tho, not by name, and a BIGGER fool will be by to laugh at tomorrow, so you are not marked for life).

    The other was when they issued NEW box cutters.

    They issued the kind that was massively availabe in the day that I mentioned before, the sliding metal case holding a replacable single edged razor blade, and they were mostly fine with them once they were a little dull. For some reason though, given a new one or a replacement blade, it was Katy bar the door on cuts to the hands and … for some reason … arms until they learned to operate their newly invogorated slicing system. One time a guy poked himself in the belly with his, because he was cutting forcefully towards himself by PULLING it along the top of the box and apparently had insufficient control over when he STOPPED.

    At least that was the story.

    …it was a bit bloody at times, but no one ever died that I knew of, but you DID kind of need antibiotics and maybe a tetanus shot aftwerwards, so it was pretty expensive for the employer for that reason, and THIS place hired DOZENS. So I can kind of understand them geting a little jaded about the abilities of Everyman to handle his blade.

    …coming back to the present, there ARE other things in play. As I mentioned I work with a VERY polyglot bunch of folks from everywhere from the South Side of Chicago to the Central African Republic with stops all over Southeast Asia and the Pacific Rim, and many of these folks come from “knife” cultures and from Muslim lands where edged weapons can be favored, not to mention our friends from Cuidad de Juarez to Tierra Del Fuego that are positively STEEPED in knife culture, to the inner city American kids that can be pretty quick with a blade too, so there’s some, eh, “OTHER” reasons you DON’T want to be handing out edged weapons at the start of the day to folks you may have to fire by the end of it.

    …So while I know many, many people who CAN handle things that are sharp and pointy, and you yourself may well fall into that catagory, I can understand why you may be inadequately equipped by a Company policy even if you show some skill, because if they give YOU some priviledges that they don’t give people who may be darker, or a different gender or speaks with an accent, or a thousand other “woke” catagories, they will get cut by lawyers instead of employees, so much as I hate to say it, you can kind of see where they’re coming from with that…

  25. This reminds me of an old (60s-70s) Gahan Wilson cartoon. Two women standing at a street corner, watching two creatures chase each other. One old woman turns to the other, “Well, if it ain’t one damned thing after another”.
    (NB, Gahan Wilson was the 60s version of Charles Addams. Well worth your time to DuckDuckGo research)

  26. You can run naked in Washington
    You can chase people with scissors in Washington
    You can poop in public in Washington

    But don’t you dare be caught maskless if you want to live.
