...about cutting a grasshopper in half -- the one you just noticed had
consumed half the leaves on the baby Queensland flame trees whose seeds
you stole from the Huntington Library -- with the nice $40 (or $80, I
can't remember) Cutco kitchen scissors that you got at a yard sale for
half a buck.

The Cutco rep at the LA County Fair said that all Cutco products had a
lifetime guarantee and that if they ever needed sharpening they would
send one of their Associates (all good-looking young guys, at least the
ones that were manning the booth) out to the owner's home to sharpen
them. I wonder if that includes replacement, and I wonder if using the
scissors for something really disgusting (like cutting a grasshopper in
half) would count...

Other than the slime on your scissors, they won't be dulled or
damaged by cutting bugs.
On the other hand, your karma will be quite damaged.
