IMing with Cicada (totally work related)

Cicada says: So have you ever heard of *Kitchen Confidential"?
Nemesis says: Yep. I've seen the book in bookstores and in your brother's car.
Cicada says: Yeah . . .
Cicada says: Well, the guy says that you only need one knife.
Cicada says: But make it a good knife.
Nemesis says: Like what, a big butcher knife for everything?
Cicada says: He suggests "Global" because they're really good and relatively inexpensive.
Cicada says: But "relatively inexpensive" means about 80 bucks.
Nemesis says: And then if you lose it . . .
Nemesis says: But you wouldn't lose it.
Cicada says: Well, how do you really lose a knife.
Cicada says: I mean, where do you take them? Other than from one side of the kitchen to the other.
Nemesis says: Someone could steal it.
Cicada says: hahaha
Cicada says: Well, if I used *that* rationale for everything, I wouldn't have bought a computer.
Nemesis says: Or if you have to stab an intruder and then you don't want to use it anymore.
Cicada says: OOoo!
Cicada says: But then I could hang it on the wall and label it, The Knife That Killed My Intruder.
Nemesis says: Oh yeah, true point.
Nemesis says: Then maybe the cutlery equivalent of the NRA would replace it, and they would use you as a media darling. "See? See? You DO have to kill intruders, all the time, and THAT'S why you need a stockpile of weapons in your house!!!"
Cicada says: I could totally be an NRA poster girl.
Nemesis says: Yeah you could. NRA Bob from the office could be your sponsor.
Cicada says: Yes!
Cicada says: And I could hang pictures of Charlton Heston in my home.
Nemesis says: Signed, of course.
Cicada says: Of course.
