For the ultra lazy, who cannot even be
bothered lifting a spoon.
The Funicular Spoon apparatus (steam
powered of course) is a short section of
cogged track and traversing engine,
complete with dipping spoon, all of
which
you attach to one of your arms.
Once in place and switched on,
the
Funicular Spoon dutifully descends the
length of your static arm, and scoops up
a
portion of soup from the bowl. It then
rises slowly back up the arm, its tiny
gimbles
and gyros ensuring that not a drop is
spilled, as it navigates the corner of your
elbow. On reaching the zenith of its
climb,
the buffers at the end of track trigger the
spoon to be extended into your waiting
mouth, upon which the return journey is
activated.

So, the trained spoonbill got jealous of all your other birds and walked out? |

Just get a monkey to feed you. |

Ab - I seem to find both spellings... which
is correct? Vernicular/Funicular? have
changed to Funicular version |

Miggavin - you can come around and feed
me any time. |

Trained marsupials would be great for this job. [NotTheSharpestSpoon] has some going cheap. |

Like it. Though, from the title, I had imagined a spoon with a handle the length of an Alpine Horn rather than something that merely climbs up your arm. + from me. |

I thought this would be another type of runcible spoon. |

Sorry [methinksnot], I hired them all out into political offices. Except one- he's working in some kind of research lab. Something about the effects of a web site designed to hook and addict people to it through just the use of words and ideas. |

bungston - thought the Funicular bit in the title might
have been a bit of a give away as to what it was, though I
do like the idea of runcible spoon as well - (Owl and
Pussycat memories) |

Funi-cular, or funi-haha? |
|
|
What happens if you can't turn it off? |
|
|
you die and it digs a hole and pushes you in, in which case
it becomes the Funerical Spoon |
