First mistake: using a real knife. 😬
Second mistake: pulling the knife out. 😖
Best to wait until the knife can be safely removed in a hospital by those who have the knowledge and equipment to handle any sequelae, including resuscitation.

Hosting a party for spouse's office; put a 33 lb frozen turkey in the fridge, but it didn't thaw in time. Put it in a bathtub to thaw, mom and I dropped the slippery, awkward bird while lifting it out. Skidded across the floor and stopped against the toilet's base. Cooked it anyway and no one died.

Oof. I take it you haven't watched Death by Lightning (Netflix) yet? It beautifully demonstrates why sometimes it's best that the bullet stays put. Tough to watch the mayhem perpetrated by President Garfield's physician who is convinced otherwise.

Guessing this had something to do with tattoos on potential recruits?

Okay, but how many gallons of ice cream in each batch? From the photo, it looks like your ice cream to candy ratio is 1.5:1!

His position is NOT a target for a MAGA stooge.
From the article: "When I became a senior judge in 2013, my successor was appointed, so my resignation will not create a vacancy to be filled by the president."
