Why don't we just ban eating! Then there would be no need for those darn pointy objects. The human race would die. Henceforth, no more global warming, yaddy yaddie..yaddie...yaya and the liberals will be happy!

The English aren't exactly recognized for their cuisine, so I suppose it wouldn't matter. If it was france, there'd never be any discussion. Gotta give the frogs credit for something.

I question his basic assumption that a cook only needs a small blade parer and a rounded tip bread knife. A large 'chefs' knife is needed to debone a chicken, to cut up vegetables and onions, to fillet a fish. A big knife can also push the stuff in the pot from the cutting board. I can't use a tiny knife for that. What about cleavers to cut large boned meat? I'm sorry, I can't cook without my Henkels knives.

The minute they banned guns, the murder rate in England went to zero.

Your either being sarcastic and forgot the tag, or you truly have no idea what your talking about.

Aside from murder by firearms, the rate of crimes committed with a firearm in England skyrocketed after the gun ban. And England is a freaking ISLAND!

"....What if he has a pointed stick?"

"Shut Up! Now, how to defend yourself from a man armed with a banana..."

I was thinking the same thing...I love that MP skit...

Most recent laws are so ridiculous that everybody is noticing now.

There is still gas and rags
why haven't they banned those?

I've been expecting this call...wonder what they'll want to ban next? Pencils? Knitting needles? brooms? Frying pans?

I guess we'll have to tear dinner apart with our teeth if they're going to ban knives.
