"Dude, check out my new hook knife."
"Wow man, does it make you feel more secure?"
"Absolutely dude, cause it's not dangerous and pointy like a real knife ...but it can slice through lines."
"But man, can it slice through the main centreline rope?"
"Not really, dude."
"And man, can it slice through the death-leash?"
"Not really, dude."
"Well anyway man, it's still a nice looking hook knife."
"Thanks dude, I knew you'd like it."
"man, i have nothing to say; i'm really clutching at straws by talking about hook-knives."
"yeah dude, this issue is a dead end. can't you think of anything more controversial?"
"no man, i can't. but i still feel compelled to say something."
"yeah dude I ran out of strapless vs twinnies conversation"
"man, I guess hook knives is all thats left"
"nah dude, there is always C-kites vs bows, and what about unhooking?"
"yeh man I guess there is a few more posts for you to do on this forum"
"Dude, check out my new seat belt!"
"Man, it looks nice, but I heard some people die in car crashes even when they're wearing seat belts!?"
"No way Dude, you mean it can't save you from all possible eventualities?"
"That's what I've heard; seat belts won't reduce the risk factor to zero."
"Oh Dude, thanks for putting me right. I'd better throw it out with the baby and the bathwater ..."
