    Hmmm... When I was at school I always carried a Swiss Army Knife with me that my father bought me for my 8th birthday. It was useful for so many things and I would occasionally lend it to friends to sharpen pencils, etc. I even lent it to a teacher once to tighten some screws on the old projector. I remember him praising me for being "more prepared" than the others. Several of my friends had their parents buy one for them as a result. Oh for the good old days when kids trusted teachers and, just as important, teachers trusted the kids (a bit). ...and fathers bought their sons knives for practical purposes, not including murder. This was in the 60s-70s in England. My school still had Sabre and Fencing as sports along with Shooting and Shinty (a scary version of hockey, a bit like ice-hockey but played on dirt/grass - we played it on concrete). Surprisingly, there was no boxing or wrestling though. - Life in the fast lane is only fun if you live in a country with no speed limits. - Of all the things I have lost, it is my mind that I miss the most. - I vaguely remember having a good memory...

    You would be surprised how girls get pregnant nowadays... I want to mention Boris Becker (formerly famous german tennis player) at this point, who received a blowjob in a broom closet and became a father afterwards... If I recall it correclty it was called "sperm theft" :)

    I'd have thought not publishing it for a while would have been a smart move. Sending it back and asking for a funny one instead would have been better. Every man can tell how many goats or sheep he possesses, but not how many friends. Shed Petition[^]

    That was really, really bad.
