Look Sharp

Let’s Spend The Knife Together

A Russian electrician slept off a night's drinking with a long knife stuck in his back and didn't notice until his wife spotted it in the kitchen the next day. He was rushed to hospital in the northern city of Vologda, but the 15-centimetre (six-inch) knife had not damaged any vital organs. His wife saw the handle of the knife sticking out as her husband bent down to get some breakfast from the fridge.

FOOTNOTE: Shoulder blade.

  1. Boy, knives making the news lately. A young boy in Vancouver, WA had a butter knife thrown at him. It lodged between his scalp and his skull, and he could see it stuck there.

    He's lucky his wife wasn't upset at him for coming home drunk and late, or she could have gotten even by literally twisting the knife ....

  6. I assume there were some questions such as, what were you doing last night and who were you with? but then, I guess he didn't remember.
    Freaky.

  13. hehe, he must have been WASTED!! And cut up that he couldn't remember which back-stabbing individual did it to him!:) Seems like regular visits to the pub might prove to be a great solution for anyone with permanent backache!

  14. Reminds me of that video I saw ages ago of some woman walking around completely oblivious to the fact she had a knife in her head. I cant remember what show it was on but I would have been in high school when I saw it probably.
