Pah! Amateur! When technicians forget a fork we just use a container from Blank CD’s and a handy screwdriver.

The Pen? The Pen is not mightier than the fork

What – because holding the bowl up to your lips and slurping the noodles down would be too crude?

Depends what you’re eating. If it’s pudding, for instance, the curvature of the spoon is not as important as with, say, broth.

But really, a spoon is an entirely superfluous utensil. Anything that’s too runny to eat with a fork is something you can just drink, no utensil required. The only reason we have spoons is because polite society frowns on simple and practical approaches. This is the same reason fancy restaurants and state dinners have multiple forks per place setting with different numbers of tines. You couldn’t use the same fork to eat salad and also the main course; that would make table manners straightforward enough for hoi polloi to learn. Can’t have that.

It looks kind of like gagh, but I don’t think it’s very fresh. (Fresh gagh would be squirming, so I don’t think the pens wouldn’t stand up in it like that.)
