WHAT THE FORK?
WHILE eating brunch today (as actor Daniel S. Janik always concerned about weight, aka sedentary author Daniel Janik/Raymond Gaynor/Gary Martine), I found myself pondering the quintessentially classic question: Which is “more betta,” the knife, fork or spoon, which being as my partner is Japanese, immediately expanded to include hashi (chopsticks) and, in deference to America’s love affair with fast foods, fingers?
Given the universality of finger use early in life, it’s environmentally supportive nature, and availability world world wide, fingers instantly won out. However, given the adult penchant for games and tests of cultural adeptness that establish social classes or levels, the debated between knives, forks, spoons and chopsticks remained. Of course, chopsticks instantly won out based on the sheer numbers of users, while metal knives, forks and spoons favored the environment.
The sheer difficulty of choosing between knives, forks or spoons required a trip to the internet, to which the digitally-connected world replied that spoons win overall, as they are the most versatile of the three tools. Knives came next, because they can serve as a weapon at the table, moderating behavior and establishing social power. Okay. that leaves forks holding the tail, hence the title of today’s post.
As the author of my newest novel THE EDGE OF MADNESS (Aignos 2021) by Raymond Gaynor, and never one to miss a chance to promote the Amazon genre bestseller, I feel obligated to state, with authority, that the work contains not a single word of enlightenment surrounding the superiority of knife, fork, spoon, chopsticks or fingers, though mention is made of mono-molecular flak suits capable of protecting the wearer from bullets, knives and shives. And then there’s the usual Eugitors, shimmer-suits, contraspray, t-rips, candyshades, candycable, Enforcers and other plausible technological devices of the future…but I digress. Even if THE EDGE OF MADNESS doesn’t in any way lend support to solving the knife/fork/spoon/chopstick/finger conundrum, it’s in my and numerous reviewers’ opinions one heck-of-an-interesting read.
