Having cut open the end of my finger on one of my knitting machine needles, I look back fondly on the days when you could merely impale yourself on a knitting needle.....

I could do with buying a few pairs actually, as I rarely seem to have the right length in the size I need, even though I have three drawers full of needles. I "inherited" them from my Nan (I was going to have them when she died, but seeing as she doesn't knit anymore I got them before) but it is largely filled with thin sock needles.
