If you're going to carry that half-fork, might as well carry a regular fork around instead. I bet it'd be easier to eat with than a precarious chopstick-fork.

Gawd, that is so ugly-american pathetic. Puhleeze. Take the time to learn how to use chopsticks -- or just use a fork! Asians use forks too!

Or, just wrap a rubber band around the top and use them like tongs.
