    A friend of mine is battling cancer. He had a wish list of stuff he was asking for that he was hoping people would provide - just basic stuff like snacks to munch on, etc. At the end of the list, as a joke, he put “a katana”.

    So I bought him a katana. He was so fucking happy, and I was happy, too.

    Fuck cancer. Buy swords.

    Jesus would approve.

    Then He said to them, “But now, he who has a money bag, let him take it, and likewise a knapsack; and he who has no sword, let him sell his garment and buy one. — Luke 22:36

      Yeah, but a third isn’t necessary.

      “Look, Lord,” they replied, “we have two swords among us.”
      “That’s enough,” he said.
      — Luke 22:38 (NLT)

    I have been influenced by the motto “Buy once cry once” several times even when “Buy nunce cry nunce” would have also worked.
