It’s a fair question.

He just can’t get a handle on it.

But, really… that was a rather cutting remark, for a spoon.She shouldn’t be so sharp with him.

He’s just had too much dessert.

That was a beladling remark.

Maybe if she wore tongs……

Was he bent funny by Uri Geller?

Joke from an earlier time, more innocent, i.e., 99.999% less news and porn. To understand, ask a 70+ year old.

Unless he is a tablespoon and she a teaspoon (or vice versa), they should be a good fit…

I’d be bent out of shape by a remark like that.

Spoons are cuddlery.

@goweeder: It’s a defining moment, attempting to explain the joke. Obviously a joke for the drawer.

That remark is like a knife in the back.
