They Don't Use Bagel Cutters In 'Nam

Every time I see Huyen use a knife in my kitchen my mother's voice echoes in my head, "Be careful!" Huyen's skills with a blade are ridiculous. A few thoughts struck me yesterday as I watched her go to town on a passion fruit with the sharpest knife in my kitchen:

1. I would have lost two fingers if I cut a passion fruit like that.

2. This is why they don't have bagel cutters in 'Nam.

3. If girls were this good with a knife/blade/shiv in the States domestic violence would go down. Lorena Bobbit-ing would become a commonly used verb.

4. How were we ever supposed to win a war here if the people can do this without flinching?
