Chopstick Skill
On an evening when my parents were dining in a Chinese restaurant
with two of their close friends, Dad was showing his skill in the use
of chopsticks.
In addition to picking up a piece of beef and a snow pea,
he demonstrated his prowess by picking up a tiny morsel of rice.
Turning to the others at the table, he asked if there was anything
else they would like to see him pick up.
"Yes," said his friend. "The check."Androgens Order
Forgive your enemies, but never, ever forget their names.
The stupid neither forgive nor forget; the naïve forgive and forget; the wise forgive but never forget.

So he picked up the check with the chopsticks and gave it to his friend.

Keeping with the theme of the forum, WOOD . . .
Chop Sticks are excellent for filling in stripped screw holes. The grain usually runs with the chop stick and when the screw is replaced the grain parts easily while securing the screw.

I don't normally use screws that large, for the smaller screw holes I use the round tooth picks.
KrynTo grow old is mandatory, growing up is optional.

Or you could use your woodwork skills to make the chopsticks. If you are really good, they would be like the ones in the takeaway, joined at the hand end to show they have not been used.
