Some idiot tried to mug me 5 years ago with a blunt kitchen knife.
I stalled him long enough to remove the 10" chef's knife from my bag, recently sharpened,
and convinced him to piss off promptly.
I'm not saying this'll work all the time, but have talked myself out of a mugging at 4 in the morning by a couple of junkies once,
I know how to go about both types of negotiations, so to speak.

Did you say "that's not a knife"?
Please please please say yes.

No, but I wish I had now. :-(
Seriously though, my first thought was to get into my bag, witty chat went out the window.
