Like kitchen knives, which are used to end unhappy relationships. Is this really an argument we should be talking about? Wouldn't you feel silly presenting such an argument, to a household knive maker?

I wouldn’t want to be around the first few guys with pointy weapons, but I am sure you would be fine.
