A Coma police officer displays a deadly Katana Samurai sword before the cake-cutting ceremony
Touting it as a day of civic pride, Coma Mayor Dave Anderson helped commemorate Coma’s 2,000th consecutive day without a stabbing involving a handmade Katana Samurai sword.
“Today is a day to celebrate our good fortune,” Anderson said to a group of nearly six people who gathered in front of the town hall to recognize the special occasion. “Not many communities can boast such a sparkling record of incidents involving hand-forged, finely-crafted Katana Samurai swords.”
The last reported incident involving a Katana Samurai sword occurred on March 26, 2008, when Benji Ford stabbed his friend and neighbor, Ken Portman, during an argument about the effectiveness of swords as combat weapons.
Following his speech, the mayor used a Katana Samurai sword to cut a cake that was in the shape of a Katana Samurai sword and distributed slices of the delicious dessert to those present.
“It’s nice to stop and remember the good things about living here in Coma,” resident Paul Peterson said. “Sometimes I get down on this town and really hate living here. But then on a day like today, I think it’s not so bad because it’s been two-thousand days since somebody got stabbed with one of those fancy Japan swords.”
Mayor Anderson said he is looking forward to commemorating the town’s 2001st day without an incident involving a Katana Samurai sword tomorrow morning at an all-you-can-eat pancake feed at Banjo’s Pancake & Oat House.
