Did the original version use forks and spaghetti? I was taught chopsticks and rice, which makes more sense to me; you clearly need two chopsticks to pick up rice, but you don't need two forks for anything, let alone spaghetti.
Obviously the metaphor doesn't bear close inspection in any version, but that bugged me a bit.
