I don’t recall ever losing a knife. Yet in the last week I’ve lost my Douk-Douk twice in my apartment while in lockdown. I found it once and I’m sure it’s here somewhere. But where?

Did you look in the bottom of the dishwasher, in the refrigerator, freezer, washing machine, wife and/or daughter's socks and undies drawer (don't look in their purse. You might get hurt for going into that) your favorite recliner, least favorite recliner and sofa, under the ottoman, and in the dog or cat's bed?

EDIT almost forgot: in the "kitchen knife drawer"
 
I searched in the sofa. I have the scrape marks to prove it. I searched in all the likely places like my messy desk and the pockets of my jeans. It's such a nice slim knife that it could be anywhere. Turns out it was VERY slim. When I put on a pair of those jeans I instinctively put my hand in my pocket and there it was.
I may have to start wearing it around my neck. Hahaha
 
I have a backpack so deep and black with so many pockets that even when it was searched by the trained apes at wollongong cop shop there was one they didnt find in there...but hey ...even I hadnt seen that one for a while...I shouldnt be so harsh on them...after all ...they gave the the other 4 back when i got out the next day...
 
Glad you got your knives - and your freedom - back, meako!!
They took my green water pistol away the next day, when I was in college!!
Dangerous weapon!!
I cannot remember that string of Spam posts! What thread were they in?
Anyway, after ignoring this can for a few months, I took the plunge! I haven't eaten it since I was young!:eek:
It's amazing how thin you can slice it! Tony Bose made that knife for me years ago - it's my favorite slicer!! And fried is the way to go!:)Spam a.jpg Spam b.jpg Spam c.jpg

In a continuance of the relaxing or lighter hearted theme, here's a nostalgia trip that oldsters may appreciate. It's gratifying to have distractions when the media is so totally fixated on one theme only...;) I think it's atmospheric and shows the different sides of a lost past.

 
A waterpistol can be dangerous.
Depending on
A: what you load it with.
And
B:who you squirt with it...
Case study.
Many years ago I worked a second job with tree loppers in Sydney. We had a running battle between vehicles with WPs..Each of us striving to buy the biggest best and yet most concealable weapon available. The supersoaker wielded by Gordo the climber brought him undone.
Whilst sitting in a traffic jam he stupidly zotted a tow truck driver through his window. Not taking it with the same sense of snickering humour...this guy who was half the size of Gordo casually hopped out of his truck ..in the traffic jam..walk around to Gordos window and punched him quite savagely in the side of the head....got back in and drove away.
From where I was watching I think the Towy thought he'd been spat on...

Deffo need an app for who to squirt.
