lol. That’s one way to do it I guess* Archived Message Posted by jjlocke923 on April 16, 2025, 17:57:04, in reply to "The way I learned to eat with chopsticks is a pretty funny story" Previous Message There was this Chinese food truck that used to stop at on the way to class in grad school, as we were all interning and coming straight from work. We would just eat the food in class. I got to class and realized that they had only given me chopsticks and no forks. A classmate sitting next to me realized that I had no idea how do use them and she gave me a quick tutorial. I've never looked back.
