Hi all,

I'm moving in a week, and amidst this transition I've been forced to reflect on some things in my life. To be honest, I think that I could operate with more gratitude, because I have been so fortunate in my life and sometimes don't see it. Especially in this last year and a half, when so many people have experienced so much hardship. I have a lot to be grateful for.

Some of the things I'm grateful for are this community, the knife hobby, the things I've learned, and the great people I've met. I've been trying to thin down my collection as a part of the move, and tonight it just seems like a good idea to give some away.

So I'd like to give away a couple of cool knives, my Ferrum Forge Stinger in Black G10 and Ferrum Forge Mini Archbishop in Green G10. These are LNIB, have just been flipped/handled. Great little budget knives, with great design language.

Here's what I ask:
-A simple "I'm in", and you're in!
-By stating "I'm in," you are confirming that you are 21 and it is legal for you to own these.
-US only, please (sorry international friends!)
-No post requirements, but if you want to throw up a picture, an uplifting story, a joke, or some other positivity, go for it!
-I'm short on time given the move, so I will be using a random number generator to select a post at 10PM eastern TONIGHT. I'll either PM or post on your wall to get your shipping info.

That's about it, thanks BF community.

I'm in.

Here's your joke. I'm from Missouri and we're famous for our mules.

There was an old farmer back from when mules worked for a living. He and the mule were out plowing the back 40. It was a hot day and they took a break in the shade and the farmer and the mule both got a drink of water and were relaxing for a few minutes. Farmer's wife saw them and felt it was her duty to get them back to work. She went out and started a little lecture about how hard work was it's own reward and they ought to get back to it. Well, luck and karma being what they are, that mule kicked her in the head and killed her graveyard dead.

They had the funeral a few days later. After the funeral, one of the farmer's friends spoke with him and told him he noticed at the service whenever the farmer was talking with a woman he was always nodding his head yes and whenever he was talking with a man he was always shaking his head no. Farmer explained to his friend that all the women were telling him what a fine woman his wife was and how sorely she would be missed. The men were all asking if the mule was for sale.

I’m in! Thank you upfront for the opportunity. Sadly I’m terrible at remembering jokes, so here’s a picture of my weed wrecker.

^^Shows a lot of character. (But you don't need me to tell you that.) It's good to reflect.


Here's a joke that is supposed to be about British understatement and reserve.

Brit #1: "I understand you buried your wife."

Brit #2: "Had to. Dead, you know."
 
Very generous giveaway, BenjaminRush! I'm in.

Here's a joke borrowed from a thread over on the Spyderco Forums that made me laugh out loud:

Dave was bragging to his boss one day, “You know, I know everyone there is to know. Just name someone, anyone, and I know them.”
Tired of his boasting, his boss calls his bluff, “Okay Dave, how about Tom Cruise?”
“No dramas boss, Tom and I are old friends, and I can prove it.” So Dave and his boss fly to Hollywood and knock on Tom Cruise’s door.
Tom Cruise shouts, “Dave! What’s happening? Great to see you! Come on in for a beer!”
Although impressed, Dave’s boss is still sceptical. After they leave Cruise’s house, he tells Dave that he thinks him knowing Cruise was just lucky.
“No, no, just name anyone else,” Dave says.
“The US President,” his boss quickly retorts.
“Yup,” Dave says, “Old buddies. Let’s fly to Washington.” And off they go.
At the White House, the President spots Dave on the tour and motions him and his boss over, saying, “Dave, what a surprise, I was just on my way to a meeting, but you and your friend come on in and let’s have a beer first and catch up.”
Well, the boss is very shaken by now but still not totally convinced. After they leave the White House grounds he expresses his doubts to Dave, who again implores him to name anyone else.
“The Pope!” his boss replies.
“Sure!” says Dave. “I’ve known the Pope for years.” So off they fly to Rome.
Dave and his boss are assembled with the masses at the Vatican’s St. Peter’s Square when Dave says, “This will never work. I can’t catch the Pope’s eye among all these people. Tell you what, I know all the guards, so let me just go upstairs and I’ll come out on the balcony with the Pope.” He disappears into the crowd, headed towards the Vatican.
Sure enough, half an hour later, Dave emerges with the Pope on the balcony.
By the time Dave returns, he finds that his boss has had a heart attack and is surrounded by paramedics.
Making his way to his boss’ side, Dave asks him, “What happened?”
His boss looks up and says, “It was the final straw… you and the Pope came out on to the balcony and the man next to me said, ‘Who is that on the balcony with Dave?'”
