Unfortunate Episode With Military.

Ferret · Mar 31, 2000

I bought some lingerie for my girfriend yesterday and used the Military to remove the price tags - this done in the street before jumping on the bike. Not only do I have to worry about the blk Military looking evil and cops busting me for carrying the thing, I also have to worry about passersby seeing me fiddling with bras and panties while dressed in leather. In the end I got so hassled trying to be discrete that I slashed a finger and bled all the way home.
I blame knife laws and the resistance people have to grown men with lingerie

Sounds like a good reason to invest in a $10
(US) Victorinox Classic, for those times when you don't want to show off. I bet with the scissors, those price tags would have come off even faster than the lingerie itself will. :^) Now you can even get a higher-end version with a pen and an LED light built in (still no stay-on switch, so for me it can't replace a Photon).

As far as carrying bras, panties, etc. while wearing leather and riding a motorcycle: as long as you don't look like you're trying to hide it, I think you'll be fine. Just think: "I'm so macho, I can ride all the way home with a bra in my hand and it doesn't even occur to me that anyone will think anything."

Keep a Ladybug on your keychain or get a Cricket or Navigator, Spyderco makes more small one handers than anybody. You don't need to ever use your Military in a place where it can't be easily explained. A sub 2" knife is a great thing to have in urban or office environment.

Yeah, I can certainly see how such a sight might worry people. "Yes, officer. The biker was standing in the street, slashing at a bra with a large knife." Yikes!

ROTFLMAO

Boy I wish I'd seen that. Keep up that sort of behaviour and I won't have to make that phone call

. BTW, nice try saying the lingerie was for your girlfriend, as if

Don't worry that the world might end tomorrow....in Australia it's tomorrow already.

Ferret - Is lingerie also against the law in Australia, or just the knife?

If you rally want attention, wear the lingerie while riding your scooter and hide the leathers!?
