Knee

What is the purpose of a knee?
It certainly allows one to be free
It liberates us to walk and run.
Play squash or golf or basketball or football.
If the knee could not bend, the leg would swing like one long-stick,
A bending knee also lets us pray. A holy gesture of humility.

It never occurred to me that the knee is also a lethal weapon.
A round end of the v-shaped shin-and-thigh.
Now a tip-end for full body weight to be projected onto the side of the neck.
Now I know because I saw it on TV.
The knee is designed to be a weapon to subdue or kill.
All you to have to do is keep the knee on the side of the neck 
for 8 minutes and 46 seconds, or so.
