[quote=SETH,277672]With jobs getting scarce, even in China, switching to washable reusable chopsticks might be a good idea for the ecology and the workforce. Women might especially prosper, gathering and cleaning used chopsticks for restaurants. A woman entrepreneur could do well, advertising that it is for chopsticks that the "belle toils!"

Men could prosper too, having their chopstick-cleaning businesses identified by signs containing a large letter "C", like "C" as in chopsticks. I could imagine elderly men, masters of their trade and highly proficient in chopstick cleaning, to be known as "the old men and the C"!

But technology could do even better! A sanitary robot that sits on a dining table and actually feeds us would allow us to say "a farewell to arms!". However, the expense of such a robot would divide people into two classes , and we'd be forever discussing what it means "to have and have not!" I could imagine arguments going on all night, even until "the sun also rises!"

Ah yes -- that felt good. Heh-heh![/quote]
