Well, since it came down to "SWAG (Scientific Wild Assed Guess) Time", I'll toss a few into the ring and go for some bonus "Jennifer Busse and the Busse Girls Points".
1. Busse Knuckle Dragger, because Jerry stopped dragging his knuckles and became an evolved male after meeting his wonderful wife.
2.
Every one of the knives in your kitchen is sharp. (This might have been a trick question.)
3. Jerry injured his left hand, the hand that wears the ring that proves his undying devotion to his wife.
4. "How to Avoid Letting Your Knife Business Take Away Precious Quality Time With The Love Of Your Life."
5. Modern Woman, because they were touched by Jerry's sentimental side.
6. How To Protect Your Precious Wife From Evil Ne`er-Do-Wells With A Rusty Razor Blade, A Bent Paper Clip, And Three Rubber Bands."
7. MP45 (Can't figure out how to tie any bonus points to this one.)
8. The jewelry store where Jerry buys lots of baubles for Jennifer. Either that, or I'll go with AAMCO transmissions.
9. Jerry doesn't smoke those smelly things around his wife or any of the Busse Girls, who all prefer to remain as fresh and delicate as roses.
10. Warsteiner, or Ohio's favorite, Buzz Beer! (Can't work any bonuses into that one, either.)
Okay, a moment to allow the queasiness in some of our stomachs to subside...
11. The Busse Combat Blazer. (blanking here, too)
12. The name's not important, only that the knife's beauty could never approach that of Jennifer or the Busse Girls, even in the eyes of the most jaded knifeknut.
13. I guess that I will never see,
a person as wonderful as Jennifer Busse...
Actually, for another guess, I'll go with "The Needle Pen and Sword", by Lydie Sigourney, whose namesake Sigourney Weaver hold nary a candle to the Busse Girls.
14. 3, but his real intelligence comes from the women around him.
15. King Hank the Whatever, I'll copy VI from a couple others. But it doesn't matter much since I've never heard that Jerry ever write timeless poetry for his wife.
16. Jerry cut 0 pieces with a #7, 2771 with a #9, but the number of cuts pales to the infinite charms of Jennifer and the Busse Girls.
17. It was a special late-night episode of Oprah, entitled, "Why I'm Gonna Start Pampering My Wife More".
18. Stress counciling so that they can all regain happy, loving relationships with their precious wives.
19. To increase and improve a guy's tactile sensations to give better backrubs and foot massages to their loving, devoted wives.
20. "Nuclear tough", "world leader in extreme performance knives", and "just in case you can take it with you". The new ad copy is gonna go something like, "Nowhere near the sharpness of Mrs. Busse's brilliance or the rapier-like tongue-lashings Jerry recieves from the Busse Girls whenever he screws something up around the shop".
My God, I can't believe I've sunk so low in sucking-up. I feel pathetic. LOL!
