and not as neat, but fork has 4 letters, just like left, and knife and spoon have 5 letters just like right.. and now you know how to set (lay) the table!

fork(s) to the left, knife(s) and spoon(s) to the right!
--i have a real big problem with right and left.. if it weren't for the fact the your left hand makes an L, i still wouldn't know the difference.. until i learned that little trick, i used to have to pull out an etiquette book each time i had company to set the table!
