I think the daggers thing only works if:

1) The keyboard is laying on top of you.
2) You are fabulously talented and can really REALLY play.
3) You are wealthy enough to easily afford a replacement keyboard.
4) You have snappy replies ready for the inevitable "stabbing your organ"
jokes.

Oh, and 5) You have several unused daggers lying about.
