I used to think that cutlery had gender and that the reason the fork (male) was on the opposite side of the plate from the other silverware was that he kept trying to "run away with the spoon (female)" .The knife (male) was next to the spoon facing away from her in order to protect her from the fork running around the plate and grabbing her.
