Imagine that you are sitting on the TV couch in peace and quiet, watching an English detective story. The descriptions of the environment are apt, as usual. The atmosphere is dark and rainy. Fog is over the moors, and the atmosphere is slightly ominous. Something is going to happen.
Suddenly, blood starts to flow, although not there on the screen but down the side of the forehead and onto the face. Is it some modern invention like acquiring a 3D TV with special effects?
No, it's just me who got a throwing knife in the forehead. This kind of thing happens in the Wikström family home from time to time.

| A hole in the head, patched up by the wife |
How it happened was a bit unclear at first. However, what happened was fairly easy to figure out. I had just received delivery of my latest order of new throwing knives from France. Beautiful handmade objects originating in Normandy. Since I fell a little in love and wanted to feel them and examine the balance, I sat with one of the knives in my right hand.
With my left hand, I reached for the remote control to pause the broadcast because I had to get some snacks. A little tea goes well with this kind of program. But as it turned out, I bumped the knife handle with the remote control, whereupon the well-balanced knife tipped around in my hand and elegantly swung in with the tip straight into my head. It is also longer than anything else I am used to, so the reach was good. In addition, the tip is very....hm, pointed!

My dear wife didn't understand what had happened at first, but she immediately cried out something like "What the heck are you doing?" It may have been a stronger expression, I don't remember exactly. But off to the toilet to wipe away all the goo with some paper. The hole wasn't that deep, but the head bleeds a lot, as you know. I was happy with that, but my better half thought that a thorough cleaning and bandaging was necessary.
I don't know if there's any real moral to the story. Possibly one should be vigilant against throwing knives when you watch detective stories.
So think about that, my friends!
