Knife related common sense found on today’s comics page!

Wow. In today’s newspaper, a cartoonist pokes fun at knife related paranoia and over-reaction.

Here the main character (the teacher, Mr. Adams, on the left) meets a sheeple:

The cartoonist is Jim Adams. His cartoon strip is centered around a teacher in a public school system. Appropriately, the cartoonist has been an elementary school teacher in the Vancouver (Washington) School District.

It is refreshing to see someone other than us knife nuts pointing out that people often over-react and forget about common sense.


(His knife looks like a 556 Mini-Grip to me.)

Very cool!

They say that humor is the first level of acceptance. Lets hope people get the sense of it.

Thanks for sharing.

Did you cut out the comic because if you did, I see you didnt use any object other that your hands to cut it. Shame on you for not using a knife. But if you just found it on the web well then forget what I said.
 
Beautiful. It has restored my faith in humanity.

Funny, but back in high school I've seen Leathermans and SAKs in the desk drawers of the most liberal teachers... and I know for a fact that students didn't care about the rule.
 
that had to be pre-Columbine days I bet

all history is now measured from the Columbine Killings
 
Humorous, but nowhere near realistic. When I was in school, every pair of scissors seemed to have had blunted tips, loose pivots, and were left handed. ;)
 
Most scissors I see in offices and shops have at least one point broken off and are usually otherwise abused to the point where they are useless for their intended purpose.

By the way, I am in northern AZ and it is unusual not to see some sort of folder clipped on a man's pocket or in a sheath. It's usually on the side opposite the handgun.:D

consider yourself lucky for we here in the People's Republic have to jump thru hoops just to buy a damn handgun.


Cool cartoon , too bad the only people who will appreciate it are us and those who think like us concerning certain tools.
Society is full of droning monkeys that cannot think for themselves on too many levels , while we have advanced considerably technologically , we as a society have lost too much of our common sense to ever go back to the way things used to be concerning certain tools , and the use and ownership of such.
I lost hope years ago , it ain't coming back :)
 
I went to a tech high school 24 years ago. Almost Everyone, including the teachers, carried some kind of pocket knife. Some even openly on their belts. I never remember it ever being an issue.

Man, have things changed in that short amount of time!
 
That's awesome.

A while ago I got into an argument on a gaming forum (which has quite a bit of UK people there) and they just could not understand that a weapon is only a weapon if used as one. To them a knife is a weapon and scissors are a tool simply because of their blind acceptance of cultural stigmata.
 
This is real ironic for me....

My daughter attends our local public HS , they can't bring anything to school that even resembles a knife, but she was required to buy a pair of hair cutting scissors ( supplied by the school) because she takes a cosmetology course.

The other day she showed me how she "practices " holding the scissors while she is in other classes.

What a joke... the scissors are huge compared to the SAK I gave her ... she was too scared to leave the SAK in her bag so she gave it back to me.
