At my mother's workplace they charge money for forks, knives and spoons if you buy certain items but are included for free if you order other items. It's a silly system, but it drives her nuts so she started carrying those plastic packs of utensils in her purse. They went to a party and their table won a pie, but they didn't have any plates or utensils to eat it with. So they ran into the bathroom to get some towels while Mom dug around in her purse. Some people did end up using a knife to eat their pie, but she found enough odds and ends for the whole table to have something. Then the second place winners wondered where they got the utensils from, so they washed them off to share. I know, I'm rambling off topic again. But since I don't seem to care so much...
