• And I find chopsticks frankly distressing. Am I alone in thinking it odd that a people ingenious enough to invent paper, gunpowder, kites and any number of other useful objects, and who have a noble history extending back 3,000 years haven't yet worked out that a pair of knitting needles is no way to capture food?

• A thousand years ago the Chinese had an entirely codified kitchen while the French were still gnawing on bones. Chopsticks have been around since the fourth century B.C. Forks didn't show up in England until 1611, and even then they weren't meant for eating but just to hold the meat still while you hacked at it with your knife.

• Sybil tells me your little festival is an annual occurrence," she said, the cadence of her voice swooning like a lullaby. "Yes," Kai said, lifting a shrimp wonton between his chopsticks.

• Life is a refining process. Our response to it determines whether we'll be ground down or polished up. On a piano, one person sits down and plays sonatas, while another merely bangs away at "Chopsticks." The piano is not responsible. It's how you touch the keys that makes the difference. It's how you play what life gives you that determines your joy and shine.

• Los árboles son muy buenos amigos. Amigos firmes. Se podía confiar en que el árbol de mi hijo de cinco años estaría allí al día siguiente, acrítico y protector. Y pensemos en la contribución de los árboles a nuestras vidas. Proporcionan barcos, edificios, papel, muebles y, para los que llevan zuecos, calzado. Además de palillos de dientes y palillos chinos, ofrecen a los pajaritos un lugar cómodo donde sentarse. Y lo mejor de todo es que ayudan a producir aire respirable y a retener el carbono. Por eso estoy hablando con los Verdes sobre dar el voto a los árboles.

• Women who work for escort agencies that assign them out to prostitution dates at sushi restaurants know how to eat with chopsticks, and beyond that they are in every other way identical to other prostitutes. They’re not better looking; they’re not smarter; they’re not classier; they’re not more charming. They probably give more blowjobs than any reasonable woman, right? And they are empty inside, but it’s also society’s fault.
