“Um, lets see I got pencils, paper, folders…now what am I forgetting for Billy’s back-to-school supplies?”
“Knives”
“Oh that is right- Back to School KNIVES”
Billy goes to a school in a rough neighborhood.
(I found this in Vons Grocery store today. I laughed enough to get the attention of a lady in the aisle. I don’t think she thought it was as funny as me. And when I took out my camera -she said ‘what are you doing?’…clearly she was not a blogger. And yes I gave her my card…so Hi, Lady from Vons in Yorba Linda!)
Hey go check out BD’s Funny Foto Linky here

This is HIGHlarious. I would have laughed out loud, too!
That is way too funny!!!!
I’ve seen everything now!!!!
I wonder what the woman suspected you were going to pull from your purse. Perhaps you’ve gained a new ‘peep’
woah! Lol why back to school knives?
Hahahahahaha!!!
So weird.
I would HOPE that’s for back to school as in COLLEGE DORM?!?!!?
She was so not a blogger. I was taking pictures of Walmart’s empty shelves after the hurricane and my kids thought I was crazy–they said “for the blog, huh”. Me, “of course, now move out of the way!!” Gah!!
Back to school knives…? What are they thinking? That is amazing. I would have laughed too.
My husband and I are laughing as we lay here in bed reading this. Yes, we are reading your blog together. Way better than…TV.
Wha’?!?
Really? What?!?
(Hey, I’ve created my version of a blog award.
Come by and see!)
Hey Marcy,
I DO know that I’ve won. And I’m THRILLED beyond belief!
I’ve tried to send my e-mail before, but it seems I need to cross my fingers and light some special Sage to see if my computer will actually send information!
Let’s see if this works. annharrison@comcast.net
If I don’t hear back, I’ll try again tomorrow. (Oh, hence the name ‘Ann…AGAIN’. ;->
So, they have back to school cutlery, and yet I’m still scouring the stores looking for the back to school wine.
LMAO That is insane!
They’ll market anything for any occasion, I swear!
Um, WHA?!?
I suppose I AM pretty busy. Teaching my four-year-old to chop lettuce and dice tomatoes WOULD save some time.
Fingers, schmingers.
I knew that things were getting bad in our schools, but knives? LOL!!
You should have asked customer service where the back to school guns were. That would have raised a few eyebrows!
Oh my gosh! Too funny :~)
Oh Dear!! That’s certainly 1 Back to School solution, eh?
Oh my…glad that was not on my boys list LOL
Ha! :)
I think I’m really going to like FPF. :)
I love the picture of the 5 year old chef on the top of the package. That is responsible! Too funny!
What will they think of next? High School Musical bongs? Hannah Montana cigarette lighters? Yikes.
Knives on the school supply list. Funny ! Almost seems like a Jay Leno gag! I notice things like this all the time but just note it , then forget it. Blogging gives a way to share the irony !
Because Back-to-School Machetes would be unsafe.
peanut butter forbidden! but a set of cute knives? sure!
I’m going to link this, in connection with a post I wrote recently. Here in Britain we’ve had a number of fatal stabbing in schools, leading to a certain level of paranoia.
Back to school knives? Hm. that’s going a bit far.
It’s an ongoing debate, I carried a knife as a teenager… I do now. It’s in use regularly in my work. I don’t struggle with packaging and string, I can pry cans open, sharpen pencils, cut my bread.
The relevant point is, do you see a knife as a weapon? or as a tool?
I’d put cutting implements as the most important tools we humans ever devised.
Drat
I forgot the relevant post’s link.

Led here from Neatorama. How the heck have so many people missed the point? Commercial cooking is a class, man! I know I took it in grade nine! I’m not going to spend a hundred bucks so my kid can have fancy knives for a semester. This is a great solution.
The package says “for college, apartment, camper, or office”.
It just a little common sense. A back-to-school hello kitty lunchbox is probably for the younger set. A back-to-school knife set is probably for college students, who are over 18 and often cook for themselves.
College is school too, folks.
* “for dorm”, rather.
Wow, I’ve been looking for back to school booze and cigarettes, but this will do nicely! Thanks for the early Christmas gift idea…
Do you people have nothing to do then blog about some knives. My god there are other important thing going on in this world you may want to discuss
