I'm not talking about a spoon with tines.  I know what a spork is, and I 
wasn't trying to describe a spork.  I'm talking about a fork, a perfectly 
normal fork, with tines and a handle and everything you expect about a 
fork.  The only difference is that the very tips of the tines, instead of 
coming to a point, are rounded, as if someone had taken a very little ball 
and stuck it onto the end of each tine.

I can't find a picture on the web in thirty seconds, but these things do 
exist.
