What is the stupidest thing you have ever done with a knife?

I haven't got one of my own stories to tell, but I do have one of my Uncle. When I was a kid, he was visiting Canada for the first time from the old country. He asked to borrow my SAK. Not knowing any better, I lent it to him. I watched him take off his sock and prop his foot up in front of him. Guessing at what was going to happen next, I suggested that he use some nailclippers instead. Scowling at me in a way that said, 'I know what I'm doin' kid.', he proceeded to cut his toenail. In that moment of weird fascination when you can't look away, he managed to slice the top of his toe off. :eek:
 
I'm not sure if this counts, but I once had the bright idea to use the tweezers from a Victorinox Classic to attempt to extract the broken pieces of a light switch from a live electrical socket.

After receiving one hell of a shock, I had to use a pair of insulated pliers to remove the spot-welded and twisted tweezers from the socket. I carried those tweezers for about a year afterwards as a reminder not to be so stupid in the future.

Just out of curiosity, what happened afterwards? Did she blame you for the accident?

Actually, she just asked if i had a band-aid and tried to play it off all cool and such.

Haha that's right. Jazz hands don't work so well when people with hair get too close to candles either, apparently.
