Really, I did; this morning, when emptying the dishwasher, I did the cutlery first (as always). In my haste, though, I started closing the drawer before the last fork fell into place, which meant that the drawer hit the bottom of the fork. As the fork was still in a non-horizontal position, its tines were caught my finger and rammed my finger into the counter above the drawer, and I ended up with a couple tines a couple millimeters in my left forefinger.<\/p>\n
I tossed the fork in the sink and headed for the first aid, leaving a bloody trail behind me.<\/p>\n
But I got it stopped all right–puncture wounds are easy!–and went back to the kitchen, where I found that the fork had gone into the sink and down into the garbage disposal, almost making the morning a two-fer of folly.<\/p>\n
Although “Stabbing a man with a fork” was not really on my bucket list, I’ve done it. And you can bet I’ll use it to start conversations.<\/p>\n
With strangers.<\/p>\n
Because one thing on my bucket list is to get a reputation befitting Glen from Stan Makita’s Doughnuts.<\/p>\n
