I saw one of those office paper cutters in a company. Somebody taped a warning to it:

"Keep Ears Away From Blade -Vincent"

Still, at least he didn't become a homicide bomber, or fall on somebody leaping from a BASE, or possibly mentally scar an operator of a vehicle or train by jumping in front of it.

I can think cheaper and easier ways to do it.

A few years ago, a guy walked into a local gun shop, handled a rifle, pulled a round out of his pocket...and ate it, so to speak.

First of all, please allow me to apologize in advance.

Can they return something that was only used once? Probably will be hit with a 20% restocking fee.

From the great state of Michiganistan no less...surely he could have found a local radical Islamist to do the job in the service of Allah....
