What about point-ed sticks?

[Feiny]

Aye Matie, we pirates will never give up our swords! ARRR!

[Martin Tell]

What you need is more fresh fruit!

[JOE43270]

I guess these were fully automatic assualt swords.

when I read that, I said to myself, "My GOD, what bizzaro world did I wake up in this morning?!"

Next it will be baseball bats, cricket bats, tire irons, butcher knives, then the Australians will pass a law saying everyone has to stay in their homes because the world is just too scary.

Give me a break!

And no more Quickening for us Highlanders.........

[jjm2111]

Australians are stoopid.

Might come in handy someday!

I've seen that axe before, but I can't quite place it. I like the spike on the backside.

[Feiny]

The British can't be too far behind.
Then, Feinstein will introduce the same bill in the Senate.

[DBrow]

"everyone is gonna have to buy their food pre-cut by licensed butchers/chefs."

If you did that, you'd have to give the whole population pairs of little wooden sticks to eat with.

[JimDingle]

I thought most swords you can buy are dulled and not an effective weapon.

[Darksheare]

Fully automatic assault sword made by Ginsu and used in every Benny Hana's around the country....

These are high quality steel that will hold a nice edge. An hour or two with a good stone will be time well spent.

[John Will]

Demolition man, Something to watch now.

[El Gato]

Pretty soon, it will be anything carried by hand.

In England, or at least parts of it, it's anything which could be used as a weapon. I guess that means they have to write with crayons, since either a sharpened pencil, or a ball point pen, makes a dandy weapon.

[JimDingle]

Also all people will have to use dummy scisors to cut, and I have no clue what cooks will have to use in replacement for knives.

[neverdem]

A look at your tagline got me to thinking of the robes writing their decisions with crayons. Seems appropriate considering some of their recent decisions.

[dhs12345]

Wonder at what point does a sword becomes a knife?

And if I carry a pocket "sword", uh I mean pocket knife, am I carrying a concealed weapon?

[Ghengis]

Soon to be taught in the Australian Police Academies...

"...Tonight I shall be carrying on from where we got to last week when I was showing you how to defend yourselves against anyone who attacks you armed with a piece of fresh fruit..."

That is, after they have outlawed pointed sticks.
