Runs with Scissors	comment	One of the basic safety rules we learn as children is "never run with scissors." Thus, references to this rule and instances of characters running with scissors show up in the media all the time. Do Not Try This at Home, obviously. Please. Related to Shear Menace, which is using scissors as a weapon.

Runs with Scissors / int_14f9297e	comment	The Far Side: In one cartoon, a new employee at a scissors factory is curious about an elderly woman watching over the production line from an elevated chair. An older employee says: "You must be new here. That's Miss Crutchfield, and she's there to make sure nobody runs with scissors." And another where a man is no longer permitted to go running with an anthropomorphic pair of scissors at the track.

In "Foster's Goes to Europe", when Bloo decides to stay at Foster's with Madame Foster instead of going to Europe, Frankie calls for a babysitter. Bloo objects, saying a babysitter would cramp his style, but Frankie says there's no way her grandmother can be trusted with looking after him. Madame Foster agrees with her, and is shown running while holding a pair of scissors.

Runs with Scissors / int_49a5082f	comment	Multiple children's shows have reinforced this lesson. Most have been non-graphic, some have used puppets, but all of these have stopped short of showing or depicting anything graphic happening. However, there was at least one online account recalling a safety lesson delivered on a local version of Romper Room, said show broadcast sometime in the late 1970s. The exchange was said to have involved the host getting a call from "the fire chief" and (after a fake phone conversation) explaining that his department had just responded to a call where a little boy was running with scissors in the house and that he accidentally poked both of his baby sister's eyes out, and that she likely lost both of her eyes. The lesson, which scarred the kids for life (according to the online account) was, of course, "don't run with scissors."
