first the background on the joke. felicia and i like to look at cookbooks while we are puttering at work. when they are donated, or whatever.
so she asked me today "did you know that spoons have a gender?"
then she handed me the cookbook and showed me the line. it said "stir well using the male spoon (the one without a hole) as the female spoon (the one with holes) is not stiff enough"
Then we were talking about me making some fudge tonight and she asked if i was using a male spoon or a female spoon. I replied "neither. I'm using a spatula". and she said "Oh, a hermaphrodite! Neither male nor female!"
