Co-worker: "I need a knife. You look like a guy who always has a knife handy, do you have one I can use?"
Me: "What does THAT mean?"
(beat)
Me: "Yeah, here, use my Swiss Army knife."

Welcome to another installment of Actual Conversations With Real People, in which...well, you know. Today's real person is a co-worker.
Co-worker: "I need a knife. You look like a guy who always has a knife handy, do you have one I can use?"
Me: "What does THAT mean?"

I laughed out loud there. WTF? You should have pulled a Paul Hogan and yanked out a hunting knife and gone, "Call that a knife, THIS is a knife!"
hahaha ... somebody looks like a psycho! :P
You should've rifled around in your bag (you look like a guy who carries a backpack) and said, "Hmmm...doesn't look like I have a knife....oh, I have a grenade! Will that work?"
Well, it either means you look crazy or you look southern. As the two are synonymous, just smile and say "Thanks," because life's a lot easier when people think you'll cut them.
Whatever! That means you look manly! You've apparently got everyone fooled.
LOL @ Becky. You totally seem like a "backpack guy."
So, you'd also be the guy to talk to if I needed a little plastic toothpick.
You should have added, "You might want to wash the blood off first". That would really get them.
I know some people that are about to be bopped with a very heavy backpack.
Oh shit, they're onto you.
LOL! Such an Eagle Scout.
A backpack-wearing Eagle Scout.
That was funny!!!
You look like a knife wearing crazyman????
peace

You and my brother could be twins. Which I guess means you could be my brother. But anyway ~ Boy Scout, right? Uh-huh.
;-)
You should stop wearing your Boy Scout uniform to work, for reals.
My brother in law always has a multi tool handy. I always laugh when he pulls it out (twss)
But I do have a love of my Swiss Army knife that's great for bringing to parties to open neer and wine and killing people.
Haven't used it for the 3rd use yet/
Don't bandy about your copy of The Catcher in the Rye. That's a serial killer dead giveaway.
I always carry floss and a sewing kit.
And antibacterial gel.
And a first aid kit.
And toothbrush and toothpaste and pain and stomach medicines.
And a rosary.
I'm a boyscout with boobs.
I don't know which made me laugh more ... your conversation or Kimizzy's comment. Good stuff, all!
He's just saying...Hey dude, you look like a man's man.
