A couple weeks ago I was sitting in a restaurant, eating dinner with friends, when I was given a steak knife with the hamburger I ordered. Not particularly needing a steak knife to eat a hamburger, it sat unused until after I was done. Eventually my idle hands turned to the devil's work, and I found myself sawing lightly into my left thumbnail. Not too far, just scratching the surface a bit. It was a very poor steak knife.

This might seem like harmless, if weird, entertainment. Tonight I learned otherwise. Because should a thumbnail have a score mark on it, like mine did, it is very likely to buckle there under the impact of a poorly aimed shinai. Like mine did.

So let that be a lesson to all who read this. Don't saw into your thumbnail with a steak knife and then get hit there several weeks later with a bamboo stick. It just isn't worth it.

I first read that as ME CHAFE-ISH, which, actually, they might very well do.
