Grant, do you know the word chork?
C-H-O-R-K.
Chork.
Is this a chubby fork?
Like a spork only.
Oh, it’s a fork made out of cheese.
I don’t know.
In Wisconsin, right.
It’s a fork for eating chalupas.
No, it’s a verb, actually. Chork. Let me read you this dictionary definition of what chork means.
To make the noise which the feet do when the shoes are full of water.
Oh, nice. Chork.
You, for some reason, have gotten your feet wet. You misjudged the size of the puddle.
Right.
And for the rest of the day, or at least until you can get those shoes off, you’re making a chork sound.
