But why do you care how "most people" act?

Not even close to true. Of the hundreds of people with whom I've eaten
pizza in L.A., only Dwight and Dave use a fork. Everyone else uses
their fingers.

As to fried chicken, if it's messy to eat it with your fingers then it
is by definition badly fried. It should be dry and crispy on the
outside, juicy inside.

People who eat ribs with knife and fork are just fooling themselves.
They get just as messy as everyone else.

And watermelon?! Not possible. That's just one of Nancy's subtle
jokes. -aem
