Oh dear - sticking that dirk into the earth and then not even cleaning it before sheathing it - he has no respect. I treat my kitchen knives better.
My brother was shot by someone messing around - he even said 'I didn't know it was loaded' - after he'd seen me walk back from setting up the targets, uncover and load - it still makes me go all cold to think about it. Yes it was a small calibre - but it hit him a hand's breadth from the jugular.
Anne the Pleater
I presume to dictate to no man what he shall eat or drink or wherewithal he shall be clothed."
-- The Hon. Stuart Ruaidri Erskine, The Kilt & How to Wear It, 1901.
