What is the deal with forks?

Wow, I guess THEbuckeye probably doesn't live by the 5-second rule either, if seeing a fork upsets her that much.  I'm a backpacker, only God knows how much dirt I have eaten as a result of eating in the great outdoors.  I'm a firm believer in if you try to avoid every possible germ in life, your immune system will be so weak, you can't fight off normal germs.  I've passed a whiskey bottle around, lots of germ spreading going on there, although drunk germs usually don't make me get sick.  I've cooked steaks on raw granite sitting in a campfire.  Used a little beer to wash off the dirt & pine needles before cooking.

Who said anything about germs? Not me. 

I guess that is my assumption based on the comments about a dirty fork, one that has already been in someones mouth.  Cuz even licked clean, it still has someone's microorganisms left on it.  If you aren't a germophobe and willing would eat something from a loved ones fork, why the extreme objection to a picture of food with a fork on the plate?

You know what they say about assumptions. It's not an "extreme" objection. It's not all that important in the grand scheme of things. I mean, it's the BGE forum

I also noticed the posts got odder and grosser and the Friday night alcohol kicked in! 

I like my forks
