It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a spoon.

They dined on mince, and slices of quince, Which they ate with a runcible spoon; And hand in hand, on the edge of the sand, They danced by the light of the moon.

I have lost spoons, some by death... others through sheer inability to make it through the rinse cycle.

A myriad spoons were floating on the surface of a stream. 'What are you?' I cried to them as they drifted by. 'I am a spoon, of course' nearly a myriad spoons answered, and there was surprise and indignation in their voices as they passed. But, here and there, a lonely spoon answered, 'We are this stream', and there was neither surprise nor indignation in their voices, but just a quiet certitude. - Ask the Awakened by Wei Wu Wei

"Woe unto you,Oh Earth and Sea,for the devil sends his spoon with wrath,for he knows the time is short. Let him who hath understanding reckon the number of the spoon,for it is a human number. It's number is six hundred and sixty six."
