The immunity of these persons from swift and awful death is one of the most striking proofs of God's mercy to those that hate Him.

You encounter sundry forks when you walk the straight and narrow path, most of them pitch forks. The Devil sticks a fork in you to see if you are done yet. But don't they look funny when they eat pizza with a fork?
Sometimes I put two flavors of pizza on the same plate. I use a knife and fork to make mincemeat out of it.

I don't know for sure, but that sounds too tentative, RBUD.
