A butcher knife on a blind date...

An amusing story, but it misses the real point: God made men and women, Colonel Colt made them equal (which I swiped from Ann Coulter, politically incorrect person that I am).
Ladies, if you need to be armed, take a stand-off weapon. A knife lets the bad guy get too close!
