For all who’ve used sporks . . .
The idle musings of a former military man, former computer geek, medically retired pastor and now full-time writer. Contents guaranteed to offend the politically correct and anal-retentive from time to time. My approach to life is that it should be taken with a large helping of laughter, and sufficient firepower to keep it tamed!
Good Ideas Studios, producers of "Veggie Tales" made a parody of Lord of The Rings. Instead of Orcs, they had "The Evil Sporks."
Too funny… 🙂

A spork is a shining example of the pitfalls of crossing two things to make a single thing that can do the job of either. I've used some plastic spoons that held up as well as their metal counterparts, and plastic forks are often fine and dandy, but I have yet to see a spork that was more than marginally better than eating with my fingers.
Quirel, I dated a woman named Elaine Spork. Eating with her fingers was a delight.
You do realise that there are in fact Swedish titanium combat sporks?
