The Gloucester Goth, perhaps not a Goth at all, was buried with a knife worn in dagger fashion-- the same way an Alan wore an akinakes. In this case, its intent would be nebulous. Maybe it was considered a weapon, maybe an eating knife... probably both. And even though the "Goth" was "totally dead," he probably had more of a sense of humor than you do. Please! Lighten up. It was a joke.
