I went to a motorcycle rally where they were making anyone with a knife carry it back to theor motorcycle and get rid of it. I walked about half a mile each way and went to the rally where they were selling knives.

Crazy.

That's nothing, I was called for Jury duty and they made me check my perfectly legal pocket knife at the door. The reason: The trial was for a guy who had stabbed someone. So I guess the reasoning was that if we saw some guy who had stabbed someone on trial those of us with a knife would suddenly have the urge to stab someone also.

Never did figure out the exact reason, since I have been in the same courtroom many times before and since and only had to check my pocket knife the one time.
