I picked up a few items for lunch at the cafeteria and there was this cashier woman who took my payment. The cutlery box is usually just beside the till, which I found only had forks and knives. I immediately had an ear-to-ear smile, and told her with gleeful eyes: "There is no spoon" (I did my best with the voice).
The lady said "I'm sorry, I'm sorry", started backing away and went straight into the kitchen and shrieked "somebody bring the spoons from the dishwasher, please". She must have taken me either for some kind of a psycho creep, or a en entitled prick.
I giggled at the dude behind me in line, and said "I can't believe there was a real-life scenario that let me tell someone 'there is no spoon', but I think she unfortunately didn't get it".
This dude's face turned almost pale, and he responded confusingly: "Sorry mate, the cutlery comes from the dishwasher and the staff could sometimes be behind in replenishing it at the front. You could drop in a complaints/compliments form on the box as you go out".

That movie is old enough by now that you may as well have stared at her and intoned: "Rosebud"

These are not the spoon you were looking for, I am afraid!

Indeed, those weren't the ones.

Sigh. Welcome to foot in mouth disease. I almost see my wife glaring at me. Tomorrow, bring her a pack of spoons and flowers with a note explaining. It will really go a long way.

The red one is a spoon - the blue one is a spinner - what's the catch?

No - a little mumble(t)y peg maybe...
...but hey fork that. Or is there a fork? Or... could it be that...

There is a fork - it's the one that says "Bad Motherf***er".

Whenever I go into the office and see that our Configuration Manager is not here, I am tempted to say There is no Spoon.
Well, his name is Rick Spoon, so...

I've seen things you woodchucks wouldn't believe. Attack hamsters on fire off the shoulder of Oracle. I watched C-Sharps glitter in the dark near the Maunder Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain.

My favourite movie.
...although "A Matter of Life and Death", starring David Niven, comes really close.
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

OK, I give up. Is this an 'in' joke that only a certain class of people will get?
|
|
|

You'd be 'in', had you watched the Matrix trilogy. It's not too late. 
|
|
|
|
|
I watched about half an hour of the first one until I realised it was rubbish.
|
|
|
|
|
The sequels were rubbish, but the first one was OK. But that also explains why you're not in on the joke.
