FORK n. An instrument ordsprog

en FORK, n. An instrument used chiefly for the purpose of putting dead animals into the mouth.

The immunity of these persons from swift and awful death is one of the most striking proofs of God's mercy to those that hate Him.

After that I usually feel a lot better, and no harm done.
