There are many, many dangers in the modern push-button home, and no place in the modern push-button home holds more of them than the kitchen.

For instance, there are knives and can openers, which are sharp. Also, kitchens in ethnic homes may contain "skewers."

Be wary of "skewers," and be even more wary of the "skewer" owner. For puncture wounds are notoriously slow to heal, and they do not leave impressive scars. The foods prepared with "skewers" are also very slow to heal, as they are mostly comprised of cubed meat.

As everyone knows, meat is not naturally cubic, and must be cut to that shape for use with "skewers." This, unfortunately, requires a knife, and knives are sharp and therefore dangerous.

Haunting how everything comes full-circle, isn't it?
