Very funny Lew. I'm feeling better about my purchase already. For some reason I'm picturing an African version of the "Honeymooners". Ralph saying "one of these days Alice, straight to the Moon, and Alice saying, " you just try it Ralph and I'll hit you with my spoon-club"!

Hi again,latest info on tupperware and other kitchenalia.......
Spoon is used to make butter....spoon pressed in a bowl a little bigger in diameter.The lobs make it possible to let through the butter while pressing.
That's why the spoon smells......like out of date butter.

I actually tried to smell the spoon Danny. My wife thought I had lost it. I didn't smell anyting, but the spoon is old.
Got any photos of the tribes people to post? Can you recommend a book about these people so I might learn more?
Thanks for all your help. I really appreciate it.
