Where's the Fork?

At the dinner tonight at shul, I assume that more people showed up than were expected. Of the many tables that were available for us, all but four were set up with a tablecloth and silverware. Unfortunately for us, Matt, Jean, three other people we met, and I all sat at one of the extra tables with no silverware.

After asking the catering staff a number of times for some extra forks, one of the staff went to another table and brought back two sets of fork-and-knife combinations. Remember, there were six of us at the table and we now had two forks and two knives. Apparently, there were no others to be had (which we found utterly amusing).

So, our table decided to share. Matt and I shared a fork, which wasn't easy. Some people began eating with their hands. A bit later, we were given a couple more forks for our table, but still not enough for everyone. Matt was super generous and let me have the fork while he attempted to eat using two knives. It was really quite funny.

Where were the extra forks hiding?
