This crowd can appreciate this - Something horrific happened to me today.
I left the office about 20-minutes ago to get a cup of coffee. As I walked out across the quad, I did my customary pat-down. Wallet, keys, phone, kni....fe... - Double check. Wallet, keys, phone, kni...fe. No knife. I left the house, without a knife today. I've carried a pocket knife everyday since I was 7-years old, baring when traveling on airplanes. - How could I forget a KNIFE?! What if I have an emergency and need it? What if I need my knife to cut open a package or a string. What...what...what...am I going to do?!
So, when I got back to my office, I went straight to my bag and removed my back-up knife and placed it in my pocket. Whew...crisis averted. Well...except that now I only have one knife to get me through the day instead of two. Hopefully, I make it.
