"The other silverware used to be pretty nice to me, and the people used to use me a lot.
Now, I'm practically out of a job because I never get used by the people, and the other silverware won't have much to do with me either."


Poor Jean the Fork... just can't figure out why things have changed for her. Why are the people not using her at meals? And why do the other forks, knives and spoons avoid her? When she asks the wise old can opener about it, he replies:

"Well, I hate to break it to you, my friend, Fork, but it appears you smell like last week's pork!"
