My wifes friend Karen has now returned to the UK but on the last full day of her visit we took her around yet another local lake.
Karen made fun of my choice to carry a knife as she had done all week and I continued to shrug them off as I had done all week.
Karens on the left, Mrs Pit the right as they stopped to enjoy the view...

Anyway we finally made our way back to the beach area and sat to eat our lunch. A woman approached us and asked if we had any scissors ?
Mrs Pit said no and the woman started to leave. Before she could go I told her that I did have a knife and asked what she needed cutting. The woman then produced a pair of childs pants and said that she had forgot her grandsons bathing trunks and wanted to cut the legs off his pants.
My Bandicoot effortlessly sliced the legs from the pants and the woman thanked me and left with a big smile on her face !!!
I just turned to Karen and gave her a smug look.......not exactly what I usually carry my knife for but maybe another example (or excuse) of why you should !!!!!;):thumbup:

You should have shown her the threads on knives in the UK over in the political forum.

Sounds like you handled her well, though.

And thanks for refraining from close-ups on the beach; I know what PNW beaches are like.

For those who don't know about our beaches:
there's a little of this :cool:
but a lot more of this :barf:
 
I was once at a nice restaurant and a woman needed a lighter so that she could have a quick smoke outside. She came up to me, after getting turned down by a couple of other people, and said, "You look like someone who'd have a source of fire." Indeed she was correct, but I had to pull out a SAK, bandana, flashlight, compass, LMF scout, and water tabs to get to my mini BIC, but to the lady's credit she never batted an eyelash. She just borrowed my lighter, lit her ciggy, and said, "Thank you." Women can tell a lot about a guy with just a single glance; more than I realized up until that moment. Meeeooow. :)
 
You should never leave home without a knife, Glad to see that you didn't and you showed your wifes friend that a knife is not always a weapon.
 
knife uses always seem to pop up unexpectedly...

so its always good to have a knife, so you will always be prepared!

good on ya for solving one problem and making a kid happy that he could go swimming now. but fabric is pretty neat in that it can be torn off as long as you have a tiny little hole to start with...ala a tiny wear spot in the knee of your jeans soon turns to a huge split just about separating the leg off...the same principle works for turning a pair of pants into shorts...
 
Hey Pit.. .that is funny.

My girlfriend enjoys making fun of my "man-purse" as she calls it.

But of course, whenever she loses a button off her shirt... I am on it. :thumbup:

Whenever she has a headache, or alergies, I am on it. :thumbup:

Whenever it is starts raining and she needs a cheapo pancho... I am on it. :thumbup:

I just laugh and bear it... I hope I never need some of the other items stored withing my Fatboy Jumbo... but... If needed... I am on it.;):D
