Add this to Dear Abby's list of pet peeves: you're trying to open a vein in a crowded public venue and some buffoon jogs your arm:
A Japanese woman went on a stabbing rampage at a crowded train station, wounding seven men after failing to slash her own wrist, police said Tuesday.The woman attempted to cut her wrist with an army knife at a shopping mall Monday night near the train station in Hiratsuka, 43 miles southwest of Tokyo, but someone bumped into her and she became angry, said police official Hidetoshi Yukitake.
"She was screaming as she was slashing people at random," Yukitake said.
None of the seven men stabbed were seriously injured, he said.
The woman was arrested at the scene after being overpowered by onlookers.
"She said she was frustrated. She was also angry at her father," Yukitake said.
Nobody died and she got daddy's attention. This must have been one of those "cry for help" rampages.

Posted by: csason at July 29, 2008 08:48 AMC'mon now, let's not have any such cutting remarks and slashing wit! Let's just take a good sharp penetrating look at this...

just cuttin' up some
Well, I guess everybody has to carve out their own special place in life. I just thought I'd take a stab at it myself.
Posted by: Little Starla at July 29, 2008 04:39 PMIf she used an army knife to cut one wrist, would she have used a parring knife to slash both?

Posted by: Little Starla at July 29, 2008 05:22 PMThat was hilarious, Nancy.
Posted by: Donnah at July 29, 2008 09:48 PMThanks, but not so much...
just a slice of droll.
My conscience just told me to cut the shit.

Posted by: James at July 30, 2008 07:51 PMTruthfully.. I don't get it..Out of all the sushi
bars I have been to, I don't think I have ever seen a knife sent out with a meal..One would think it unusual for the rady to not be a traditionalist, being from Japan..Why didn't she use chopsticks ?
