Anyway, as for the chopsticks, if they were hollow, you might use them as a straw and still eat the soup, except for the chunks. The chunks, however, can be eaten with the chopsticks.
It does strike me, however, as a particularly curious habit to eat with chopsticks when there are obvious and non-pointy solutions to bringing food to the mouth.

I don't think it's because your dutch persay, it's more the ready availability of drugs down the road from you that's done it
To be fair Laurens it took me a minute to work it out, a "button back" is a set of all in one long underwear, that has a button down flap over the bum area so that you can go to the loo without removing the whole garment.
And with regards to quip of the day I occasionally have a squiz at it and am sometimes confused by some of the posts.

I suppose chopsticks are preferable to hands if clean water and toilet paper isn't readily available.

If I had to use chopsticks in that manner, I would prefer them to be the traditional solid ones rather than hollow -- that could get messy.
And definitely not the Japanese pointy ones either.

On the other hand, the hollow chopstick for soup is a good idea, but I find it much easier to simply pick up the bowl and slurp.

BTW, Laurens, I am still pondering the goats licking my feet.
Wow ... just Wow.

Agreed. Especially since bowls are completely unpointy. You just can't sting yourself with a bowl, that's a safety feature.

It struck me just now that you may have been asking this on a philosophical level, in which case the answer is not really.

If I had, I didn't understand the question myself, really, so I guess we're on the same level.

The problem with offtopic remarks in an offtopic thread is that they are ontopic, defying their purpose.

Unless it was cone shaped and sat in a donut like base that it could be removed from, so that for example on a picnic you would have the ability to stick it straight into the ground sans donut base thingy, then you would have a pointy bowl.
