Forks
First time poster, long time lurker...

Very simple this one. During my long-past student days I made many trips to my friend Jon's house due to his a) Amiga and b) his access to superior smoking supplies. Every time I went around I would sneak into his kitchen to steel a fork, leaving a knife I had smuggled in from my own cutlery drawer.

I often ate with him and his housemates. Over time the start of every meal was preceded by an increasingly irate search for forks. By the time his fork supply was down to one old battered fork he was simply bemused. "Where do they all go," to he asked, followed by "at least we have lots of knives."

I was able to sympathise with him as I was going through a similar experience, only with knives.

I like this -
even though I read a bit of the first line as " due to his a) Angina".
Have a click.

Thanks!
It was far enough in the distant past that he is now suffering from age-related diseases. He does have an Xbox now though so swings and roundabouts...

This made me laugh
just for the "cutting off your nose to spite your face" aspect.
