Neal fished around in a bag, removed something and handed it to me. It was a forky thing, but with a round depression. What the fuck is this? It's a spork.
In the excerpt from Douglas Coupland's "Worst. Person. Ever," a character named Neal retrieves an unusual utensil from a bag and presents it to the narrator. This item, described as a "forky thing" with a round depression, piques the narrator's curiosity and confusion as they question its purpose.
Neal reveals that the peculiar tool is known as a spork, a hybrid utensil that combines the features of a spoon and a fork. This humorous exchange highlights the absurdities of everyday life and serves as a commentary on the unexpected nature of modern inventions.
