Found this in a drawer at the weekend. Not sure where it came from, or how it got in the drawer. If I could find Albert's Amusements I would be ready to be amused.

Worm Scissors

Start the New Year off how I hope to continue..
Found in a Pound Shop in Manchester.
"Worm Scissors" from the Country Pursuits range.
Two sets of blades around a centimetre apart to allow the swift cutting of regular sized cunks of worm.
Ingenius, if not a little nasty.
I will NEVER chop up a worm with them..and are worms really that long that they need a special pair of scissors to speed up the job?
