When an upgrade fails-military content

Took a punt on mass drops para 3 bluebox

So there we go, I won an upgrade to a plain Jane military in black DLC.
Not sure what I’ll do with it, I definitely legally can’t carry it haha but it’s quite cool to handle one.

There’s no going back now Dave. :)

When I got my first Millie I near fell over. I didn’t think they made folders that big. Ah, hahaha! Don’t worry it’ll shrink. ;)

They won’t let us carry a Ladybug mate but it shouldn’t stop us. We’re honest people that don’t harm anyone or anything.

Here’s a plan; You’ve still got my number, yeah? So, just carry it and use it. If on the off chance some silly copper asks you what you’re doing with it tell him you were on your way to your mate Bloke’s place to gift him the knife because he’s a champion. And, you can prove it with a phone call. Call me on speaker so the copper can hear. When I see your number come up I’ll answer “Where’s the bloody knife you promised me?”. You’ll have a legit reason for carrying it and I’ll have another Millie. Ah, hahaha! :D :cool:

Ahhh that’s the good plan m8
I was thinking perhaps murder is a legit reason for needing one but as you haven’t yet comited the murder perhaps they will just let you be.
Innocent till proven guilty and all that.

I don’t know that my standard “I don’t like crusts on my sandwich” will work with the military...

Also I’ve looked at the knife pile, it seems like if it’s not 3” I don’t wanna know about it.

The Millie must be carried and used to work its way into your heart. It doesn't take long though. And Bloke is right...it shrinks.

Only issue is that I’m basically an office peasant now... sure it’s a better pay rate but I can’t cut stuff...

Slip it in your back pocket and I reckon you’ll be singing a different song within a week. ;)

Good man, but take it from a mug, whatever you do don’t middle finger flick it open in the office. Open it two handed to cut your lunch, cut strapping on a box of printer paper ... introduce it slowly and discreetly. People are strange. Flick it once and have some inner city lefty liberal see you do it and you’ll likely be looking for a new job. :eek:

The Millie definitely gets smaller as you carry it. However, for NKF (non knife folks) it will be a sword everytime they see it.
