How lucky can one guy be?
I spooned her and she spooned me
Like a fellow once said:
Ain't that a spoon in the head?

They dined on mince, and slices of quince,
Which they spooned with a runcible spork

Must be an eating house somewhere or other.

A four-spoon place maybe?

Verily, ye first law of spoon dynamics sayeth: The increase in the internal energy of a spoon is equal to the amount of energy added by heating the spoon, minus the amount lost as a result of the work done by the spoon on its surroundings.

That reminds me that the coefficient of linear expansion is the increase in length per unit length of a spoon when it's heated through one centigrade degree.

Who can forget those great spoon moments in literature? Like Tom Sawyer spending all day whitewashing his spoon and the great scene where he, Huckleberry Finn and Jim the runaway slave sailed down the mighty Mississipi river on a spoon?

Or Anne Frank, spending years hidden from the Nazis in an attic, writing on a spoon.

Or the tear-jerking moment when young Oliver Twist holds up his bowl and beseeches "Please Sir, can I have a spoon?"

It's 106 miles to Chicago. We've got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, a spoon, it's dark and we're wearing sunglasses.
