1001 uses for a bent spoon

[Rolfe]

Come on, I'm sure we can do it!

1. I used to have a lovely bent spoon. I bought it from a street trader in Brussels in 1979. It had been a solid silver dessert spoon with a lovely leafy pattern on the handle. The bowl had been sawn off and the remainder bent into an ellipse with a gap of about 2 cm which made it just possible to slip it over your hand.

It made a very attractive bracelet.

Unfortunately it vanished in a burglary at my house in 1985, but I'll never forget my "Uri Geller bracelet", as I affectionately called it.

Only 1,000 more to go....

makes 'spooning' in bed much more interesting..

I am not sure that is legal in most Southern states . . . unless it is with a close relative. . . .

Unfortunately, a common use involves heroin.

Whenever I eat ice cream, I tend to bend my spoons. If you had a spoon pre-bent in the opposite direction for eating ice cream then when it got bent it would be just like a normal spoon. That would be a good use, IMO.

A bent spoon makes a good extinguisher for candles.

A believe that whilst it's OK for spoons to refer to each other as "bent" it's considered very un-PC for outsiders to do so. I understand that bent spoons prefer to be called "cutlery who have adopted an alternative lifestyle"
