A fork and a spoon meet for lunch one day. The fork was alone and sat on the left side of the plate and the spoon came in with a friend, the knife and they sat on the right side of the plate. The spoon introduced the knife to the fork and the fork said to the knife, you sure are bright and shinny. The knife said: thank you, I am well known, and the most used and poplar eating utensil among all dinner ware. That was when the spoon spoke up and said: that wasn’t true. Every one knows that a spoon can be used for more things than a knife, therefore the spoon is the most often used piece of dinner ware.
The fork just lay there quietly and thought to himself, they are both wrong, everyone knows that the spoon and the knife, are useless with-out a fork.
The dinner plate and the napkin, listening to all that was being said; and thought how stupid this argument was. The cup and the water glass spoke up and said, neither of them are the most used utensils When it come to eating. Without a table or chair, there would be no need for one or the other.
And the light from the candle flickered, as it said; People had been eating with their fingers long before there were eating utensils and a napkin was required more often. The knife said that people wiped their hands and fingers on their clothing before there were napkins. And the glass said: People didn’t have clothing back then, they wore skins from animals.
That was when the next table that was set for customers, let it’s opinion be known. Soon the entire contents of the restaurant were involved in the argument. Then the cooks and waitresses were taking sides and the customers all left. With no one left to tend to the cooking fire, the kitchen started to burn. The fire spread fast and by the time the fire department arrived, there was nothing left, except burned and scorched spoons ,knives and forks.
The moral of this story is: Know your place, Do the job you were hired to do, Keep your mouth closed, Know how to smile and keep your Opinions to yourself.
Insurance is costly, firemen are getting older and slower and a gallon of gas won’t get a fire truck very far.
