We all know knives and letter openers don’t make good gifts, as they’re sharp and potentially harmful. Once, a few days after a picnic, I had to return a knife to a friend who’d forgotten to take hers home. Hm, what to do? I put two pieces of fruit in a small bag, added the knife to it. That way I gave her a nice gift (fruit, healthy, sweet, double=lucky) and i added her knife to peel them. How thoughtful and convenient! I’d turned the nasty main actor into a nice supporting actor…
