“The knife is now decorating a bureaucrat’s wall, but officially it was destroyed.”
That’s disturbing. I really hate tiny men with a little power. As Mark Twain said, “No power gets exercised more vociferously than small power.”
Damn straight. They were selling much more wicked-looking knives upstairs in a men’s store in the bus station. They were selling samurai swords, too. Stupid laws breed corruption. If I had known better, I would have just got on the bus at the string bridge down the road, and avoided the whole hassle.
