Let me share with you a little gem of wisdom, as I count you all as friends and I always look out for my friends because thats what friends do and blah blah blah...

Anyway, here is the tip. When you are at the house of a man who happens to be in the Australian Military services -or any military service for that matter- it is without a doubt a very good idea to be very very careful when using his knives so as to not cut through a bread roll and straight to the bone of your little finger.

Also not a good idea to jump and flick your hand in pain, it just puts blood all over your hand... and floor... and kitchen.

And if you have an extremely low tolerance to alcohol, it may help to be EXTRA cautious when mixing drinks and sharp knives. Just so you know.

Lesson learned.
