Well, I bought David Morrell's novel, "The Protector" today, which I'm sure many of you know features an Emerson CQC7. Although I'm at work I managed to sneak in fifty-some pages. Just wondering if anyone out there finished it, and what they thought.
Anyway, I'm waiting in line at the book store, and I notice one of the young ladies in line ahead of me. She is looking at a rack of bookmarks. You know these marvelous little pieces of cardboard with the tassle on them, sometimes with a Unicorn or a Butterfly colorfully depicted on the front, maybe a nice little poem on the back about how "Where there is life, there is hope for change."(I think THAT one is printed for those ladies {term used loosely} with low self esteem, trapped in a bad relationship) Yes, fellow knuts, these amazing devices retail for only $4.99 or so. This young lady finally selected one that apparently had special meaning to her. Then I notice she's wearing those massively overpriced sandals, woven of virgin hemp fibers by the indigenous peoples of God knows where. You've probably seen these worn by neo-hippies everywhere.
Now, fellow knife enthusiasts, the observation here is that she will probably go home and pester her admiring boyfriend about how much of an idiot he is for paying over $100 for a knife.
2 seconds later, I paid for my book, slapped the receipt inside the front cover (to be used as a FREE bookmark later), declined the complimentary plastic bag, and marched out to my motorcycle, wondering to which knife I was going to put the $4.99 I saved on a bookmark today. Women!
Sorry so long.
