Who Stole My Forks?

Posted on | November 16, 2005 at 8:01 am | 14 Comments

Notice what's missing?Seriously, where are my missing two forks, dude? I know I had eight forks a few weeks ago and now there are only six. I’ve looked everywhere, including the dishwasher and all the drawers. Six forks. That’s it. I think they’ve been missing since I hosted the family birthday dinner thing at my house a few weekends ago. So, ‘fess up? Who snagged the silver? I bet one of my nieces or nephews hid them around the house somewhere. I am not happy. Give me back my forks!

Latre.

    There’s an obvious line here, to be written by someone who bothered viewing all six of the movies, about “the dark side of the forks.” Thankfully, I’m not that person.

    When are you going to invite 7 other people over for dinner, anyway?

    We have an eight-place setting and 4 chairs around our dining table (not even room enough for that many people, really). Before I was married – 1 fork, one spoon, one plate, maybe two glasses, and no dining-room table… at least as a bachelor, you have a chance to make the math work out.

    Be a Real Man and ditch five more forks.

    If I only had one fork, then I’d have to run the dishwasher every day, and that’s wasteful.

    Cleaning forks? I thought that’s what pets were for.

    Dude – That is some sweet cutlery!

    I can totally see why your relatives would be interested in them. Looks like you’ll have to go back to Cracker Barrel and nab two more.

    Are you sure you didn’t jam the missing two into your eyes while you were watching Catwoman?

    Actually, the only way you can watch Catwoman is to inject heroin directly into your eyeballs.

    I’ve looked everywhere. I suspect foul play and will soon be talking to Persons of Interest.

    I think they were psychically transported into one of your lucid dreamscapes. Have a nap, and go look for them! All the comments about washing forks almost makes me want to clean the one I keep in my drawer here at work. Almost.

    When you hosted the family birthday dinner thing did you by any chance use disposable plates? If so, I’ll bet your missing forks are in the landfill by now.

    I suspect you’re right – Patty suggested the same thing in a later conversation. I did use disposable plates that night, and I wasn’t always the one to throw them away.
