I just got up from the breakfast table. I had finished my eggs and my wife was cutting a huge globe grape ....(to remove the seeds ...yeah I know)

Anyhow, I had my Sharpmaker out because I was gonna freshen up a couple knives when I finished. I told her she could sharpen her knife on it and it would cut the grapes better. She said it was .....sharp enough...

Then after finishing breakfast I did my 2 knives. Course hadda ...test..em on the morning paper. Then I fold em up an stick em in my pocket.

She asks "Are your knives sharp now?"

I respond with "SHARP ENOUGH." Not sarcastically, but as a matter of course. Suddenly I realized what I had said. I said to her "Do you realize I just said 'sharp enough'?" She responded with "God, you must need HORMONES."

I can't believe it. How can it happen? How does a .....man...... get to "sharp enough" with no advance warning? Is this a precursor to a fatal disease? Am I losing my mind? "Sharp enough" ......is PANSY talk. I have never said that before because everyone knows that knives are NEVER ....sharp ....ENOUGH!!!!

Is there any hope? Should I just open the veins now? Is there help?

:confused: :eek: :D
 
QUICK, this man needs "hormone therapy"!

I suggest spending some time using shotguns, chainsaws, cigars, big sharp knives, and off-road driving. Possibly all at the same time :eek:

Other suggestions?
 
When I'm sharpening my knives I often think "That's sharp enough." Should I be upset that my knife isn't as sharp as my straight razor when being that sharp would damage the knife if I used it to cut up some card board or something else? So I say there is a point when a knife is sharp enough.
 
Hormone therapy? Sound interesting! Which one? Progesterone or Testosterone??
 
Lavan, there is no easy way to tell you this.......YOU NEED THERAPY! SNAP OUT OF IT MAN!!!!

I feel the need to sharpen something........................................ :confused:

"sharp enough" is what I say to my khukuri-wielding son......


:p



:footinmou



Seriously, though.....gotta watch those ladies....they can talk you into (and out of) just about anything..!!

What you probably don't realize is that she was using women's version of "The Force"....


Her: Sharp enough.
You: Yes.....sharp enough.

Her: Buy me a diamond ring.
You: Yes....I think I'll go buy you a diamond ring....
 
You may need one biker bar, 13 hard drinks, some deer hunting and lot of hard core male friends to beat you back in line. And on that note some fishing too. In all these activities sharp enough does not exist.

Good luck.
 
Instead of saying sharp enough in your mind say, "I don't dare get it any sharper."


This assures that at a later time you can return for trying when you are more familar with the knife, but also gives great respect to the blade at the moment.


And I also suggest a Die Hard, The Rock(not for acting), BHD, Tears of the Sun, The Hunted(lots of knife stuff to appease the KGs), The Patriot(make you feel good to be an American), and just about any other movie with stuff that goes BOOOOoooooommmmmm!!!


Good luck my friend, we shall not forsake you to face the wrath of the Knife Gods alone. Unless they get mad at us too, then your phu**ed. :eek:
 
You should have said "Honey, its so sharp that when I cut myself the a**hole standing next to me will start to bleed"

:D
