Should chefs be required to wear a cup while cooking?

I have a recurring nightmare in which I am quickly chopping up a whole bunch of veggies for a quick stir fry when I realize that I haven't been being particularly careful and accidentally cut into a finger instead of a carrot. Thankfully, during my waking hours I've never had that happen, but the thought of it made me work on improving my knife skills to further protect my precious digits.

Sadly, British TV chef Gordon Ramsay recently experienced one of those moments you think could only happen in the worst of anxiety dreams. He set his crotch on fire. While going commando. It adds a whole other level to taking precautions while in the kitchen, now doesn't it.

Cliff - good one! LMAO!!!
