Saugus, Massachusetts, Patrick Kenney Jr. was leaving Saugus' Kowloon Restaurant when according to authorities, Kenney fell and stabbed himself with his necklace knife.
I'll repeat that just so we're clear.
A necklace knife.
That's a necklace with a knife hanging on it.
Common sense and a minutiae of self-preservation makes it hard for me to believe such an accoutrement even exists in the world, but I checked. Amazon has dozens of these little death baubles for sale.
Whoever invented these should get a visit from Will Smith.
And the reason why they're a bad idea should now be obvious; you could stab yourself like Patrick Kenney Jr..
And even worse, Kenney passed away from his injuries, leaving behind a wife and two young children.
His bereaved family issued the following statement:
"Our family is mourning the loss of Patrick, focused on his wife Lauren and two young children, and trying to make sense of this horrific tragedy. Patrick was a loving father and husband, brother, son, and loyal friend to many. This is a horrible tragedy."
It is indeed a horrible tragedy.
A tragedy that could have easily been avoided by not wearing a knife on a necklace.
and even funnier... 8^)
Oh yeah. It is a landmark, all right...haven’t been there in a looong time, though.
LOL...the Hilltop:

That’s why I wear a cloth scapular...
Darwin wins again…
Nope, he fathered children before his demise.
Mono-Tiki-Tia. Very dangerous
Guys have to wear knives, since they can’t do this:

I think the names should be reversed.
Darn.
I believe religiously observant Sikh men carry a ceremonial dagger but I never heard of one getting hurt by it.
IIRC, it’s part of their belt.............
Guess they didn’t notice how Crocodile Dundee wore his knife.
it can’t be unseen...
Several years ago, I bought a few of those $10 skeleton Ka-bar knives from AG Russell and put one in the glove box of each of our vehicles. Each has a hole in the end of the plastic sheath so you could wear it as a neck knife, but I never have. As long as I’m wearing pants that have pockets, and wearing a belt with those pants, I’m all set to carry any knives I might need.
