You'd think working in an outdoor shop wouldn't be epsecially hazardous; we don't have crampons, or ice axes, or climbing equipment that requires demonstrating, and we wouldn't be allowed to light the stoves in the store ;)

We do, however, have a reasonable collection of Swiss Army Knives, and yesterday I managed to volunteer myself for re-doing the display.. Not too serious, I still have all 10 fingers and thumbs. But my collegue commented on the fact that I was able to unfold and arrange the most scary-looking knives (complete with woodsaws, pliers, and the biggest sharpest knives) and then cut myself on the smallest, when trying to adjust the knife bit so that it would fit on the top shelf.. Like I said, all fingers still present and correct, and it beats a paper cut...
