Strange bedfellows.

And here I was thinking I would start this blog and then promptly run out of things to say. 

Thank you for giving me one more post, Derrick Rose!   

Now, we’ve all gotten the munchies in bed and paid the price: cookie crumbs in your pajamas, soup spilled on the sheets, and oh yeah, that time you almost sliced your arm off with a knife.  What?  Never happened to you?  Probably because when most of us cut food, we do it in the kitchen, and if we are going to use a knife in bed, we remember that it’s there before we sit back down.  

NBA rookie Derrick Rose was apparently cutting an apple in bed, got up for some water, and then sat back down and cut his arm on the samurai sword knife he was using on the apple.  As humorous as this is at first read, he’s lucky the injury wasn’t worse.  Can you imagine if he’d actually SAT on the knife?  Or did a Superman-leap onto the bed and ended up with a blade in his eye socket?  

Many on the blogosphere are saying this has got to be a coverup of some kind, but honestly, this story is too stupid to make up, right?  I mean, if you get knifed in a fight, the first thing out of your mouth to cover your ass isn’t going to be that you were slicing apples in bed; it’s going to be that you got knifed in a fight!  Or at least that you were attempting to disarm a robber, or that you were injured trying to fix something at home.  

Anyway, be careful out there!  I mean, being cautious around blades on a snowblower seems like common sense, and shoving a gun down your pants without the safety on is even more common, but now we also have to worry about knives in our beds!  This is almost as scary as when Twins pitcher Terry Mulholland had his eye scratched by a rogue feather in a hotel pillow.
