Of Ravens and Writing Desks

Here's a little something to brighten your Tuesday. I came up with this as I was drifting off last night. First person to give the answer I'm thinking of gets made-from-scratch cookies in the mail. Riddle me this:

Like my instruments, I am both sharp and blunt. Who am I?

Keep trying...you're getting closer with "chef."

Knives are both sharp (blade) and blunt (handle)

eh? nigella? hilarious. i think.

well, without the rest of the riddle, "i am both sharp and blunt" makes me think of a pointed question. but in context, it doesn't make sense.

back to the drawing board...

New post coming up, so here's a hint to speed things up. It's a profession.

Its a doctor. He's sharp (gotta get through school) and blunt. "YOU GONNA DIE!"

I need cookies.

Ben is the SMARTEST person in addition to the funniest. He gets his personal favorite: oatmeal raisin. Thanks for playing, kids!

Addendum: my mother is also the SMARTEST. My parents just got here. Like two minutes ago. I showed my mom the riddle and she had it in five seconds. She didn't even need the profession clue! Must be the genes.

Genius genes. You should start a clothing line!
