Me: Here. I have spoons. You can act this out.
Co-worker: You can't use spoons for the Dining Philosophers problem. You need chopsticks.
Me: Use the spoons. As far as I'm concerned, *everyone* starves with chopsticks.

There is no spoon!

Wait - - that doesn't mean you starve. . . if it does, we'll continue to assume there is a spoon. We can even assume that it is a spherical, if it helps.

Cows? Spoons? Shouldn't this start off "Hey diddle diddle. . ." ?
