Let's take the following hypothetical situation: Let's say that I have a bowl of cereal. Now the bowl happens to have an approximately 10" diameter. Now, on the other hand, I have a four foot spoon with a major axis of 1.5 foot and a minor axis of 1 foot, giving the ellipse an eccentricity of 0.553. Now there is simply no way that my spoon is going to fit into my bowl. Hence, my point that size does, sometimes, matter That is unless I want to eat the cereal with my hands and I just don't want to or I'll get milk all over.
Although in that case (a) I don't think you'd be eating with a spoon that big, and (b) you would probably have to pour what was in the bowl into the abnormally large spoon.
Theoretically, I could be! Realistically, such a spoon would be difficult to wield and useless as hell for eating most food, but theoretically, it's possible!
Also, once the bowl is in the spoon, then what? Do I lap at my cereal like a dog? Nevar! I am a human, capable of using instruments and not making a bloody mess of myself!
That would be it, yes. However, I find the whole "My spoon is too big." commercial the best of the bunch. It's completely random and not overly gory with nasty sex with farm animals, necrophilia, pedophilia, flirting with obvious eventual death and, of course, no references to Mao Tsu Tung.
