I can just imagine how this will go:

“Waiter! Can I have a steak knife for my steak?”

Waiter: “No, they were banned by our city council.”

People will use a stick or a rock to kill each other if those are all that is available.

China has had knife control for CENTURIES. That's why the meat is always cut up for you ~ by an authorized wielder of a knife.

I can just imagine how this will go: “Waiter! Can I have a steak knife for my steak?” Waiter: “No, they were banned by our city council.”

No joke, I went to a restaurant, ordered a steak, and was given a butter knife to use. When I asked for a steak knife, the waiter offered to take the steak into the kitchen to have it cut up for me, to which I stood up and started gathering my stuff. The waiter objected, saying I couldn't walk out on my bill. I replied 'feel free to call the cops, but if Mommy's going to cut my steak for me, she can eat it too.'

Long story short, the cops were indeed called, and had one of the employees come out to inform me that I wasn't welcome on their property again. He waited for the employee to go back inside, shook his head, and noted there was one less restaurant on his list to try, as it was the stupidest policy he ever heard of.
