When People Began to Eat With the Fork

When People Began to Eat With the Fork
  “Fingers were made before forks.”When a person gives up good manners, puts aside knife and fork, and dives into his food, someone is likely to repeat that saying.
  The fork was an ancient agricultural tool, but for centuries no one thought of eating with it.Not until the eleventh century, when a young lady from Constantinople brought her fork to Italy, did the custom reach Europe.
  By the fifteenth century the use of the fork was wide-spread in Italy.The English explanation was that Italians were averse to eating food touched with fingers, “seeing all men's fingers are not alike clean.”English travelers kept their friends in stitches while describing this ridiculous Italian custom.
  Anyone who used a fork to eat with was laughed at in England for the next hundred years.Men who used forks were thought to be sissies, and women who used them were called show-off sand overnice, Not until the late 1600's did using a fork become a common custom.

Before He Cheats


Right now He's probably slow dancing With a bleached-blond tramp And she's probably getting frisky... Right now He's probably buying her some Fruity little drink Cause she can't shoot whiskey... Right now He's probably up behind her With a pool-stick Showing her how to shoot a combo... And he don't know... I dug my key into the side Of his pretty little suped up 4 wheel drive Carved my name into his leather seat... I Took a Louisville slugger To both head lights Slashed a hole in all 4 tires... And maybe next time He'll think before he cheats Right now She's probably up singing some White-trash version of Shania karoke... Right now She's probably saying I'm drunk And he's a thinking that he's gonna lucky Right now He's probably dabbing 3 dollars Worth of that bathroom Polo... Oh, and he don't know... Oh, that I dug my key into the side Of his pretty little suped up 4 wheel drive Carved my name into his leather seat... I Took a Louisville slugger To both head lights Slashed a hole in all 4 tires... And maybe next time He'll think before he cheats I might saved a little trouble for the next girl Cause the next time that he cheats... Oh, you know it won't be on me Ohh... not on me... Cause I dug my key into the side Of his pretty little suped up 4 wheel drive Carved my name into his leather seat... I Took a Louisville slugger To both head lights Slashed a hole in all 4 tires... Maybe next time He'll think before he cheats Ohh.. Maybe next time He'll think before he cheats... Ohh... before he cheats... Ohh...
