Why do they call it a box cutter when most people use it to cut tape?

X-acto-ly right.

I bet it’s not an oriental genie nor funny novelties.

Hope it’s a boxing glove jack-in-the-box.

Where does he carry it?

Little thief.

Hawthorne, you’re a rat!

If the shipping label isn’t clear you have to open it, although the cardboard will disintegrate if he waits any longer.

Of course, Hawthorn is NOT going to do the responsible thing!

Soggy cardboard opens without one.

How… responsible.

I always carry one of those little pen knives. It has a nice sharp blade for such things (and also scissors, a nail file, screwdriver, tweezers AND a toothpick!).

A shame indeed…..

You have claws!

Haha! XD
