Avo Pip, Out You Go

It is always so difficult to get the pip out of the avocado after you have cut it in half - you either damage the avo flesh or, like me, almost cut a finger off. Well, my brother taught me this: take the knife you used to cut the avo and chop it into the pip like those samurai movies, then turn the knife sideways and out comes the pip and the avo still looks good.
