What is it with this spoons business?
I have whittled and carved all sorts of things for outdoors use, but a spoon isn't one of them. Now don't get me wrong: a spoon is a handy thing to have ...when you need one. I usually have one (or a few) in the circumstances where such a thing as a spoon is required. No doubt, in extremis, I could fashion some sort of a scoop that would serve the purpose if the need arose. In fact, if the need really arose, I'm certain I could turn out carved spoons along with the best of them. Call me arrogant, but I have that confidence in my abilities. Nevertheless, I have NO intention of carving spoons just for the sake of it. I just don't see the point.
I have this rather surreal picture in my mind's eye: the plane has crashed in the jungle, hundreds of miles from anywhere. Nearly everyone is dead. Carruthers pipes up: "Williams has bought it; so has Jones. Come on chaps, Steady the Buffs. I know ....let's carve some spoons!"
Yeah, right!
