Sometimes I try to put myself in the position of a criminal, (not too hard an act my wife says).

The things I fear the most, the things which make me uneasy, are mean dogs and swords.

I was once in a gun shop and a customer and his wife were handling a quality reproduction sword. The guy turned to me and sort of jokingly drew the sword back. I told him politely but firmly that he made me nervous and to please not do that. As a matter of fact he scared the dickens out of me. The fact that the guy was a little weird probably contributed to the sensation.

I know most people probably don't share the same fears as me, but still I think that is one of the reasons I keep several swords, spears, and a dog for protection, as well as guns.

I was on a call once, a guy commited suicide with one of those short samurai swords. Stabbed himself right through the heart with it.

I'll tell you what is nasty is one of those razor tipped hunting arrows. They make nasty wounds.
