Eating Soup Witha Fork

I propose this easy to understand analogy to describe inefficient tools. When you have nothing, eating soup with a fork may seem OK, but once you have a spoon, by comparison, the fork seems ridiculously inefficient.

However, EatingSoupWithaFork is more efficient, if you are only trying to get at the bits of meat.

• There's also DrinkingSoupFromTheBowl?, which is messy and inelegant, but it gets the job done without any special tools (except the bowl). In some countries, this is the preferred method.

• There's DrinkingSoupWithaStraw?, which works for some kinds of soup.

• There's FeedingYourselfWithBrokenHands?, which is about the user and not the tools.

There are many other possible food analogies. Maybe I like them because of my last name.
