Hey everybody, my spyderco Military saved the day!!!
Just this past Saturday (yesterday, but since it's past midnight, two days ago) my fiance's family threw a surprise birthday party for her grandma. She's become a third grandmother to me since and is probably the wisest woman in their family :foot:
Well, being as great a person as she is, the entire family threw her a surprise 50's theme party at a local dance hall. The morning of, we had to figure out a way to get there early enough to decorate without her asking 1000 question of where we were going and what we were up to. After arriving to the hall with decorations in hand, we find that there are no ladders and a lot of work to do.
So we used tables and chairs to set up decorations which my military got to be a part of. Cutting tape, opening boxes, packages, string, etc.....After 2 1/2 to 3 hours of decorating we were finished....for the time being.
We all went our seperate ways for about 2 hours to get ready and gather last minute things like 6 tubs of ice cream for rootbeer floats and such.
We did a successful surprise and she was shocked!!! Just as planned and she didn't suspect a thing. She actually thought that we were all going to meet at a local restaurant like we always do. She was actually a little scared when the lights flicked on and a hundred people dressed in leather and pink jackets yelled "SURPRISE!"
Now, down to business. Since it was 50's themed, we had 50's food. One of our uncles bar-b-q'ed the hamburger patties ahead of time and just kept them warm. Then we realized we needed tomatoes, lettuce, onions, and french fries done immediately
The dance hall had a kitchen which is where much of my time was spent, but every knife in it (maybe 4 at max) were as dull as 10 year old butter knives. So what does a knife knut do?
I whipped out my Military and started slicing those tomatoes like I was getting money for it 
Perfect slices with no tugging or force involved. One of the relatives tried using one of the dull knives on a tomatoe even after I suggested that she didn't and "squirt," she smashed the tomatoe with the dull knife and paid the price for it
The lettuce was next but the Military only saw a few of those since the wimmins had torn apart most of them by the time I finished the tomatoes.
I also ended up being the french fry frier (good use of scrabble I think
). It looked like a 50's diner with all of us dressed up and practically waiting tables.
Needless to say the Military saved the day, otherwise we would have had plain jane meat and cheese for our burgers. I had several "Oos" and "Ahhs" over the sharpness of my Military, so I suggested they get themselves one :thumbup:
