The 5 Min. Carving Class

Oh Rick;
You are such a cut up!
This story reminds me of a wreck I got stuck behind not long ago. A truck carrying wigs and toupees got clipped and rolled over. It was really pretty hairy. It took a long time to get going because they had to comb through all of the evidence. Then the state had to oil everything down because of the cowlicks from a nearby farm.
BTW; have you seen that new movie "Constipation"?
Oh well; maybe it has not come out yet near you.
Jim
P.S. I apoligize for the above, sometimes I am so juvenile.

It's nice to know I'm not the only crazy one.

There seems to be a rather large contingent here on this board.

Kelly,
I resemble that statement.
Crazy one and Large!
Jim, That is a good one, I have to remember that one to tell our Auzzie and Canadians friends this next week.

I was giving a Knifw safety class to a bunch of S.O.S.S.O.S kids ages 5 years old to 16 and their adult parents.
Everything was going fine and everyone had handled and pass a very sharp knife back and forth to each other ensuring that the other person had the knife firmly in the grasp and said "

" before the person handin the knife let go of it.

A few more safety tips and then on to sharpening. Every thing went well as I was explaining how important it was to be paying atention to what you are doing while sharpening a knife. While I was talking to everyone, I lifted my eyes to gaze upon the attendees and it happened.
Sliced my thumb and it started bleeding and bleeding/ Embarrassed but not missing a lick, I explained,' See what happens to you when you are not paying attention to handling a sharp object.
I met one of those youngster, Now a young adult, and he reminded me to my embarrasment(again), of that incident and that he has since been teaching young Cub Scouts how to handle a knife from their Bear book.

I guess I should explain S.O.S.S.O.S. stands for Seasoned Outdoor Sportsman Sharing Outdoor Skills. It has a Fairly large following in North and North East Ok.

Oh man, so much for the theory that a sharp knife is more dangerous than a dull knife!

Hope you are ok.
