    Afterwards, Mr. Knife will explain at some length the factors that need to be considered when selecting the appropriate sharpening rig for serrated blades with regards to the particular task at hand vis-a-vis a partially serrated blade while keeping in mind that serrated blades in general need to be sharpened lesszzzzzzzzz . . . . zzzzz . . . zzzzz . . .

    When they were young, she saw all his good points: he was even tempered, a sharp dresser,and a top drawer employee, altogether a cut above the young blades on her block.

    But after a number of years, his polished manner began to seem cold.

    She tried to forge new friendships for them, but he was unwilling to budge from his familiar setting.

    And when she wanted to take classes to sharpen her own job skills, he cut her down, saying she already had too much on her plate.

    If she wants to cut loose, it’s time to lay everything on the table….the tines, baby…..

    the tines, they are a-changing.

    I didn’t know forks drooled.Also, while it’s apparent where sporks came from, what will be this couple’s offspring? Fives? Knorks?

    I don’t think he’s dull. I think he’s quite a cut-up even if he is a little unbalanced.

    Maybe a little illicit horizontal grinding with the neighbor sharpening steel will add a little edge to the relationship.

    Good time to cut the cheeze…. his reputation is already tarnished, however he might stand a chance of getting his point across….

    Susan, I know it wasn’t intentional, but your cutlet de force has sliced the rest of us off at the hocks.

    I personally feel stabbed in the Wernicke. Not your fault. (Well, it is, but I don’t blame ya.)

    Jeeze Louise, you guys don’t leave much to work with by noon Pacific coast time, I’m tired of gettin’ forked over and cut up by the genius’s above me who are up all night long. SusanSunshine is great. The rest of us are just shavings on the floor watching her whittleing away at pun after pun.

    Oh wow - just checking in for a sec…. I’m overwhelmed….thanks, you guys…whoever said nice things.

    Makes my day!

    Meanwhile, unfortunately, I have to make this post very quickly….My ISP is having a router problem today, as I posted elsewhere…

    My connection goes in and out…Firefox at least doesn’t lose stuff the way IE did for me….

    Gotta run…. see you later!
