    This is a truly GREAT thread, so thank you to all who've written in it. I don't have a lot to say on the subject, though I might tomorrow after I mull it over for a bit.

    I wore Panache's Sgian Don't to school today and within fifteen minutes of class I had four teachers question me on whether I had a knife in my sock. I didn't, but I could see the issue getting out of hand for no good reason so I left it in the car.

    I can see it now.

    The scene, Alan H. walking down the hallway of the Highschool, a teacher passes by and looks down and sees the knife handle tucked into his sock

    Teacher: Hey you have a knife on school grounds! SECURITY!

    Alan H. : Don't worry, it isn't a knife

    Teacher : It isn't?

    Alan H. : No, no, no...I would never wear a knife to a school. I know it's against the law.

    Teacher : So what's that?

    Alan H. : A Sgian Don't. (Pulling it out of his hose) See it's really a bottle cap openner.

    Teacher: Oh, well that's OK then.

    Alan H. : I use it to open my beers during the lunch break...

    Teacher: SECURITY!!!!!!!

    Cheers

    Smart man. I have to give myself credit, that's what I did. My first reaction was to peck out a quick post in this thread skimming the subject of pride. That would have been a mistake.
