Man, that’s really unforktunate. Hope it comes out OK.
I swallowed a key to some handcuffs about 4 years ago and I didn’t notice it passing, so I feel your pain.
Not as much as the girl handcuffed to the pub table did, including the fire service being called. 
So, Mullinator…it’s been three days. Any…uh, any news? 
I hear ya. Not even a passing comment so far.

You know, he hasn’t posted in three days…!
While checking one’s own waste for bits of plastic may sound like a ripping good way to spend an evening, I decided against that course of action. I figured that if it was a troublesome tine, I’d feel it as it worked it’s way through my system.
Otherwise, I choose to live in blissful ignorance as to whether the tine ended up in a porcelain bowl or is resting easily on a cafeteria floor.
And people think I’m nuts just because I keep a real fork, spoon and knife in my desk at work.
I wonder just how much of the USDA recommended daily allowance of fiber is in a plastic fork tine…
There are ways to complain about the quality of the flatware without crapping on the cafeteria floor, you know.
True – but that’s not the reason why. 
Well, not the only reason, sure!
