Reminds me of something that happened in the 80's.
A group of students hid under an oak tree to get out of the rain.
Next thing one of them notices, he's in the hospital, a couple of his friends are dead, and he's being told that he was blown clean out of his shoes.
Lightning hit the tree, blew it to bits, and about 20 students were knocked down, injured, or worse.
Teachers were horrified, and parents wanted desperately to blame someone.
Don't'cha mean butter knives?
I've seen some fairly sharp toothpicks...in fact, there's nothing much lamer than a dull toothpick.
NY cheers up there, Darks.
