My wife, mother-in-law, and father-in-law ate at one of those Japanese restaurants where the chef prepares food on a grill in front of you. The chef was showing off his juggling skills in front of us and others who were sitting at the table. He’d toss large wooden salt and pepper shakers into the air, quickly catching them and throwing them back up. He got a little too exuberant in his juggling performance, losing control of one of the shakers. The shaker flew directly towards my father-in-law who was holding a glass of water in front of him. The shaker smashed the glass, scattering shards of glass and drenching the table. Miraculously, my father-in-law wasn’t injured. I remember back in the days when chefs at these restaurants used to twirl knives! I imagine that the practice was stopped after lawsuits from injuries resulted in skyrocketing insurance costs.

How about a flaming knife?
I admire everything you have done here. I prefer the area in which you state you do this to offer back even though I might imagine as a result of all the remarks that this is functioning for you also.
