Peri,
No wonder you don't want my 'crummy spoon', you're obviously a 'fork' man. S. Fork This, N. Fork That.......
Just think of it though , if you fished with forks instead of spoons, when you hooked a fish you could always say "I stuck a fork in him." Or if you crackered him, you could say that he "forked off".

ltlcleo and Aunty M,
Thanks guys, I feel much better now knowing that I won't be giving away anything of significant monetary value , even if this 'slightly used, but greatly appreciated, Original' should only have deep personal sentimental value, that nobody can be expected to understand just how profoundly it evokes enduring memories of a lifetime
But what kind of a heartless, inconsiderate bum would put up such a precious family heirloom, intended to be handed down from one generation of Mooch's to the next, as a lame prize for a cheap contest and risk revealing truths yet unspoken if he had thought there was even the slightest chance anyone would guess the location of SHANGRILA?

Mooch in'.
