Where do all the teaspoons go?

[Muslimwoman]

No seriously, where do they go?

You buy a cutlery set with 6 teaspoons and within 2 years you have only 4 remaining.

How do you lose a teaspoon?

Do you accidently throw them in the rubbish?

Does your friend steal one when they realise they now only have 4 teaspoons?

Are they biodegradable and simple melt away?

Is there a teaspoon gremlin, like the sock gremlin in the washing machine?

Is there a jihadi teaspoon heaven where they get 72 virgin spoons if they die in battle with the forks?

Where do the teaspoons go?

 

[greymare]

I know this one!!!!!!!!


Start washing your dishes.......... think everything is done......... pull the plug............ and WHAMMO there is ALWAYS one left in the bottom of the sink!!

 

[wil]

with the socks?

or jumpin over the moon with a cow or something....??

 

[Dream]

Could be that magic is involved. Have you checked the bottom of your purse and behind your ears?

 

[moonymoony]

I think the UN security council must find a solution to this teaspoons problem as soon as possible before it becomes a global crisis

 

[Muslimwoman]

It's already a global crisis .. well in my kitchen anyway!!

But Grey if you see it at the bottom of the sink you just wash it and push it away, it can't go down the sink (not here anyway).

Just checked my bag and ears ... no spoons

For two guys who slog it out regularly, Wil and I are so in tune. He beat me to it, I was going to say, when you find the teaspoons, any socks there will be mine.

Or they could be bent to make Black and Tans....

 

[NiceCupOfTea]

mine tend to stick around for years ?

 

[Thomas]

Don't mention the Black and Tans ... a very dark moment in Britain's history ...

[seattlegal]

Perhaps the sofa eats them?

This is what we call a Guiness poured over a Harp...top half dark/bottom half light... It didn't come from over there?

 

[wil]

It appears the name as a drink predates the trouble.... we still call it that here...

The style is believed to have originated in pubs in Britain with drinkers ordering a mix of dark stout and draught bitter. The earliest recorded usage of the term in the Oxford English Dictionary is from 1889, though an earlier origin of an 18th century blend of porter and pale ale has been conjectured.[citation needed] Several American breweries currently make premixed Black and Tan, and it is a popular blend at American bars. One of the oldest and best known commercial examples is Yuengling's Original Black and Tan.
The name "black and tan" had earlier been applied to dogs, such as the black and tan coon-hound. It was later used as a nickname for the Black and Tans paramilitary reserve during the Irish War of Independence. In March 2006, Ben and Jerry's released an ice cream flavor in the United States for Saint Patrick's Day inspired by the drink; the name offended Irish nationalists because of the paramilitary association.

and the spoon....

 

[Thomas]

Ah! gotcha! Sorry ... I thought you meant the other sort ...

Of all the problems that were associated with that....

Did they take the spoons too?

 

[greymare]

if you have a garbage disposal, turn that sucker on and i guarantee you will find remnants of teaspoons etc. lol

 

[Muslimwoman]

Checked the sofa, found £32, a comb, a screwdriver, about 3 packets of biscuits in crumbs and a cat I thought had run away 4 years ago!!

But no spoons

 

[Dream]

I hope they were not heirlooms. Sometimes people pass down silverware for generations. Sometimes the silverware is so important that you can't eat with it.

 

[Muslimwoman]

Alas they are not heirlooms (or I'd have sold them by now lol) but they are part of a set ... my set is now incomplete and life will never be the same again

Green tins, all.

Extra Terrestrial virus!

Not the standard ones mind you, but those extra virus' as associated with meteor strikes.
This old globe has been pummeled with such astronomical impacts for time beyond historical reckoning.
Should there be but the merest trace of the 'old nick' (the element nickel) in the alloyed make up of the spoons... well there they go. off to commit such grief in households round the civilized world.

Scientists here have addressed the problem, and through diligent trial and error, they sent their report of their investigations to the central government. Industry was given the this insolvable problem to to be solved where upon the Utensil Consortium Tzar ordered that, to increase the useful service life of a domestic table service, twice the number of teaspoons be included in each kit.

While it may be argued that this stratagem did not eliminate the problem, it has saved the nation from a large number of untold deaths by suicide, from utensil deprivation syndrome, resulting from this highly sensitive and deeply troubling issue.

Research still continues and, with the advent of the genome project, it is hoped that the causative DNA of this extra terrestrial spoon anomaly may be isolated in order that a retro virus may be found.
