After one of the meetings, Japan had invited some of the countries over to his house to relax. (They were holding their meeting in Japan.) America, England, Germany, and Italy had all agreed. For a while, they just chatted, but then Italy tapped on America's shoulder.

"Hey America, I saw a cool video one of your citizens made. He was acting out the knife song. Could you do it for us?"

America stared at Italy in surprise. "I thought you would try to stay away from dangerous stuff like playing with knifes."

"I do, but I was really impressed. So will you show me?" Italy asked, giving America his puppy dog eyes.

"Aw man, how can I say no to that?" America chuckled. "Just don't expect me to go to fast. I haven't done it in a while." America got up, and walked out of the room. England and Germany look confused, but Japan looked rather bored.

"He better not get blood on the carpet again." Japan muttered. "He will pay for the cleaning."

"Blood?" England asked, looking rather alarmed.

"Yeah, but if he does it right there won't be any." Italy said cheerfully.

Germany gave Italy a curious look, but didn't say anything. America walked back into the room, carrying a large carving knife and cutting board. He placed the cutting board on the table.

"Don't try this at home kids." He joked. England rolled his eyes, and Italy laughed. America placed his hand on the cutting board, and raised the knife.

"What do you think you're doing?" Germany cried as America held the knife above his hand.

"Relax dude. I know what I'm doing." America said, flashing Germany a grin. America brought down the knife in a sharp jab, right between his thumb and pointer finger, and started to sing. With each word, he jabbed the knife into the spaces between his fingers.

"Oh, I have all my fingers

The knife goes chop chop chop

If I miss the spaces in-between my fingers will come off

And if I hit my fingers

The blood will soon come out

But all the same I play this game cause that's what it's all about

Oh, chop chop chop chop chop chop

I'm picking up the speed

And if I hit my fingers then my hand will start to bleed"

On the last word, he quickly removed his hand from the cutting board and stabbed the knife in the middle of the board.

"Wow, you did even better than the guy I watched!" Italy said, clapping his hands.

"Never do that again!" England snapped, smacking America upside the head.

"At least you didn't make a mess." Japan said, taking the knife and the cutting board. He left to put them back in the kitchen.

"Why do your citizens do such crazy things?" Germany asked, looking mildly impressed.

"Because it's fun!" America said, flashing a thumbs up.

A/N: Americans love to do stupid and dangerous things for fun. The knife song is just one of those stupid fads that we do. But really, we can do some really stupid stuff for fun and think nothing of it.
