I was taking a large limb off of a tree and the tree objected. He threw me to the ground breaking my right wrist and a few ribs.

I had to go to Tokyo a few weeks later. I tried to use a fork with my left hand but it didn't work. I tried chop sticks with my left and had no problem at all. The Japanese are always impressed when an Anglo can use them. They were REALLY impressed I could do it with my left hand.

I learned to use them when I spent two years in Japan back in 1976-78.

And DW uses them a lot. So much so that we bought several travel pair and take them with us. Plus we have a number of sets at home. (NO throw away ones with splinters!!)

I think we are gonna get the spork's and replace the camping sets.

And they are handy for cleaning out one's ears as well. Very versatile implement.

Before or after using them to eat?

Your choice, I told you they were versatile.

I feel compelled to start a band, and name it "Titanium Spork." :)

Can we have two drummers?

I want to be in the band too! I can play about ten guitar chords on a good day...and on a bad one I can still sing. I also do a wicked kazoo solo.

This thread has me thinking too of that great Vulcan sci-fi hero, you know...

Mr. Spork...

It's a utensil, Jim, but not as we know it.

(yes I have insomnia and yes it's very apparent I am sleep deprived.)
