On A Knife-Edge
A shopper in the UK was flummoxed after she was asked for proof of age to buy a set of teaspoons at Asda. The shop assistant reportedly informed the customer that someone had once been murdered with a teaspoon, and therefore age identification was now required.
FOOTNOTE: Asda crow flies.
I'd like to bet that you could buy firearms or knives at the same place without ID...ha!
ReplyDeleteIt is England....doesn't surprise me a bit.
ReplyDeleteOh come on! Another PC English one!
ReplyDeleteYou have GOT to be kidding!!
ReplyDeleteLOVE this .. so I guess if you are over a certain age or is it under a certain age you are considered a potentially less likely spoon welding killer?
ReplyDeleteits funny... that u check the age before selling a spoon...
ReplyDeletecan someone bother to check the age of the people who entered India to cause the terror attacks in November... those guys were not even 20... and moving around freely with deadly weapons...:(
Aw geez. First the FDA threatens to classify Cheerios as a drug and now the Brits have deemed teaspoons as a dangerous ordance.
ReplyDeleteAbout as bad as when McDonalds had to change the shape of their coffee stir sticks because people were using them as coke spoons.
heee heee heee, and what do you have to produce to buy an ice pick????
ReplyDeletewell if that is the case we need to show id for many many things like icicles
ReplyDeleteOh dear. Death by teaspoon. Must be Miss Marple.
ReplyDeleteThe world gets crazier by the minute!
(Especially this country!)
I wonder what they do if you want to buy something really dangerous like... an electric skillet or something!
ReplyDeleteNow that we know your age, you are prevented from doing anyone harm with this spoon. Oh yeah, that makes good sense.
ReplyDeleteIt must be a spoonerism surely!
ReplyDeleteThat confirms it...the human race is officially insane.
ReplyDeleteThat's taking Homeland Security to a whole new level! ~Janine
