Ok, I'll admit I like carrying an SAK classic for the scissors on it, even after helping a little in poking fun at Jim Shaw for his dull knife and scissors mantras..

However, I had to think of Jim and Safety today. I was working in between two huge racks of gear bringing up systems and was pulling ethernet patch cables out of a box that were annoyingly rolled up and tied with stuff (grrr. nothing is more annoying when you're doing *lots*) I whipped out the SAK, and thinking of "safety first" I opened out the scissors. Two cables later I promptly managed (in my annoyance) to stick my middle left finger with the scissors and bleed all over the data centre. And this being a sattelite centre with nothing around I then had to mcgyver a bandaid with cardboard packing from the machine boxes and duct tape so I could stop dripping on the floor.

Anyway, just a reminder. nothing's idiot proof, (I'm living proof).. let's be careful out there..
