What if any are the "rules" for using a spork?
He went up to the lunch counter and asked for the TOILET in a very loud voice. Everyone who was sitting there flinched and that really bothered him. Each of the dozen or so time he asked me about it in the next few days, I suggested alternate wordings, like "bathroom" and "men's room" but he didn't seem to accept that such a request wouldn't really mean he wanted to take a bath or get a whisky straight up out of sight of the ladies or something- and one suspects also that we could be so exquisitely sensitive about that one word... because (I fear) that we are so apparently crude about so many other things.

Surely a spork should be used in conjunction with a spnife when eating out of a divided tray, or splate.
