Please Say a Prayer for my Peanut

[Guyon]

I was out in San Francisco about three weeks ago for a conference. All went well. I stayed with a Busse HOG who took me out to some great restaurants as well as out to Muir Woods for a hike. Fine host all around.

Fast forward to the return flight. I checked my bag, proceeded to the security line, started unpacking my pockets, and began cursing. There was my peanut in its leather slip. Not in my checked bag. In my pocket.

Fortunately, there was a drop box where you could bag your offensive cutlery, provide an address and CC number, and supposedly, your knife would be mailed to you for the low, low price of $9.95.

Well, I'm still waiting on it. It was a nice little Schrade dogleg jack. Almost new with great snap.

*sniff, sniff*

Come home, little peanut. I miss you.

 

[Morrow]

I have faith....you wayward peanut will find its way home.

 

[knarfeng]

fingers crossed.

Smoke and prayers for your little friend.

Our peanut, who art in mailbox,
Hurried be thy trip,
thy mailman come, waiting is no fun, out window I've stared since seven.
Give us this day, our daily peanut.
And forgive us our delayed shipments, as we forgive those who have delayed shipments against us.
Lead us not into confiscation, but deliver our peanuts from evil.
Amen

 

[Ralph Merlino]

I am sure that it will arrive in a few days.

 

[cj65]

It will come home. I know how you feel, I get a twisted gut if I thought I lost a tool that I love to use so much.

 

[vic2367]

:thumbup::thumbup: Nicely done!

Come home, little peanut. I miss you.

I have a sure-fire way to ensure it finds its way back to you: Buy yourself a new peanut. As soon as you do that, the original will show up in your mail box, guaranteed.

Yup! He's right!works with everything else... should be the same with knives.

 

[GigOne]

Aren't there knife abandonment laws ?

I hope your dog legs it back to you, wearing it's leather slippers

That one got a chuckle. :thumbup:

Yeah, I left it in the slip, thinking it would help protect the knife. However, if both never show up, I'm going to regret not simply keeping the slip with me.

Last time I flew there was a gun in line ahead of me who was irate because he still had his leatherman wave on his belt. Unfortunately the guy was pretty stressed because he was flying due to a medical emergency and was taking it out on the staff. It wasn't their fault that he forgot to leave it at home, and it wasn't their fault that he couldn't take it on the plane. He was being pretty unreasonable, and was accusing them of just trying to steal it from him. I felt bad for everyone involved. He said he was just going to throw it away, he wouldn't let them ship it for him because he didn't trust them. He finally gave in and shipped it.

Anyhow, I hope your knife makes it home, there's nothing worse than losing something because of a mistake. Keep us updated!

 

[Thomason]

I would have taken the Greyhound or even hitchhiked home before I would been separated from my peanut. Guyon, I am ashamed of you.

(hope it shows up soon)

I'm pretty sure guns are a no-no too.

If you love your peanut, set it free. If it comes back to you, you know it's yours. If not, buy two more.

I guess the airlines and HS don't understand the attachment some folks have to the little slipjoint's.... Maybe they could do a seperate line for slipjoint owners only, with guaranteed free return shipping

Aaaaww geez . . . more sap than a pine tree . . .

If not, buy two more.

Oooooohh, now I get it. Guyon, here's what you do: even if it comes back, tell the wife it didn't, and you need a couple to replace it. (There's Peanuts out there that need a good home.)

thx - cpr
