I'm talking about titanium, reinforced spoons here.
With a quality spoon like that, you wouldn't want to waste it on digging a ditch. I'd go straight for the International Ostrich Egg and Spoon race with something that good. Of course, you would need to build up your muscles a bit first, those Ostrich eggs are heavy you know?
Or alternatively, no spoon.
Your hands would get dirty surely?
