Yeah, so many people are inept with blades.

Personally, I never leave home without a little cold steel on my person.

I have a six inch folding fisherman's pocketknife in my car. It was my Dad's.

I sometimes use the scaling blade to eat Vienna sausages, in remembrance of him.

That is from 'Star Trek' the original series, "The Omega Glory" from season 2.

 

 

Uhm, did my inner geek girl just escape and run amok?

That was a close one.

So if you **** up, god is so insecure, he’ll torture your perfectly innocent great-grandchildren. That’s, uhh, completely reasonable and rationale, right?

Isn't that why he had to bring in the PR guy for an image change?

OT God and NT God are different gods.

OT God and NT God are different spins on the same God.

Oh, there’s 2,000+ years of Christian theologians who’d argue that with you. And quite a few bloodthirsty mobs, but Christians like to pretend those never happened.

Well, that's rather...Freudian, shall we say?

We never remembered to take forks on the boat.

My scout knife had a fork on one side and a spoon on the other.

If it was the one made by Colonial Knife Company that's a rare bird.

My father would be deeply uncomfortable to know I was thinking of him whilst eating sausage. 

But he’s old-school Lutheran. Being deeply uncomfortable is his baseline.

No idea. It's long gone.

Probably went out at the same time my mom threw away my entire collection of comics.

Hundreds of issues from the 1960's, when I was buying them for 15 cents.

Sometimes we had sardines.

But always with either we had crackers.

Probably a joke in there too.

It is too early to be from the alleged Exodus from Egypt.  While the alleged Exodus occurred in the late bronze age, this is clearly iron age material. A=/=B

Are you saying there weren't any Hebrew Boy Scouts at the Exodus?

I don't think so.

Just that pocketknives hadn't been invented yet.

Well, Roman soldiers had them but the Hebrews couldn't even fix their own plows and axes.

What hadn't been invented--knives or pockets?

The Romans could fold and tuck a toga so they'd have a pocket (the sinus), the Hebrews couldn't do that.

Well that explains why they never got around to beating swords into plowshares.

Centurions had pocket knives. They found them all over. 

The Hebrews couldn't do a lot of things, which is why they hated their first cousins the Phoenicians.
