It’s for pronging meat and carrying it to the mouth. It saves you dirtying your fingers.But then you dirty the fork.The fork is washable.So are your fingers. I don’t see the point. (From the movie Becket.)
Several years ago i was leading men out in a re-enactment at a historic park in Massachusetts. There was a chance of thunder so unit leaders had been told if there was lighting to break off the action and run for one of the historic buildings.
I marched back to my men and told them we were going out, there was a risk of thunder but there was a plan. “If there is lightning you are to draw your ram rods and hold them over your heads to draw the lightning away from your beloved commander.”
Considering their response I explained plan B was to leg it.
Some various puns related to this comic:“You just got forked.”“What the fork just happened?”God says, “Fork you, I do the creating around here.”“Oh, for forks sake!”“Fork that, I’ll stick with the spoon.”

He claimed he invented the fork.
Unfortunately he actually invented the lightning rod.

When your career path as an inventor has a fork in it…

Shouldn’t someone check him out and make sure he’s okay ?

Ahh, so this is the reason why Thor is called the god of lightning. He sure is a lightning attractor.

I think that I’ll stick to chop-sticks. They tend to be made out of wood.

Should have invented the 1 iron … not even one of Thor’s lightening bolts can hit a 1 iron.

I wonder if “tines” would catch on. It’s been a fork for long enough.

If you see a fork in the middle of the road, in the hand of an ash statue, don’t take it… ☺

forked, (well that made it past the censors)

This raises several questions.
1) Had one irons been invented yet?
2) Was God practicing in prep for hitting a one iron?
3) Is this the meaning behind, “Fork you”?
4) Was god disapproving of new technology back then?
5) Was the spoon really developed before the fork?

Which is why I replaced the stainless steel shaft on my kayak umbrella holder with a nice oak shaft. No need to risk attracting a stray bolt.
