Hahaha! Well said! You just brought me right back to my days in the U.S. Marine Corps. We could actually buy Irish Pennant scissors on base, which were specially made for cutting loose threads, both large and small, on our uniforms. They were extremely sharp, but with short, stout little blades. I really wish I brought a few of them home with me once I was Honourably Discharged. Hmmm...maybe the Marine Corps Annex has an online store?

Cheers,
