This is interesting! Forking the mind..eh?
Kind of makes you think...
Wonder if this is what inspired Frost - the two roads diverging in a wood, except he changed "forked" to diverging?

Golly gee, I didn't know "fork" was such an interesting word...
I like that, but the fork isn't in the road.
Ha!
from etymonline.com:
fork
O.E. forca "forked instrument used by torturers," from L. furca "pitchfork," of uncertain origin. Table forks were not generally used in England until 15c. The word is first attested in this sense in Eng. in a will of 1463, probably from O.N.Fr. forque, from the L. word. The verb "to divide in branches" is from the noun. Fork-lift (truck) first attested 1946. The slang verb phrase fork up (or out) "give over" is from 1831.
Good gracious! What a checkered history for such a little word...

I just want to see the person this belongs to.

Confuseus take fork in road once when little boy, Confuseus' Daddy make Confuseus take for back, whip Confuseus butt.
To this day Confuseus scared of fork in road, go other way...
Never mind Confuseus, his mind isn't what it used to be. If he gives you any trouble I'll take him back to the home.
Confuseus say--
"For person afraid of fork in road--
only other way is back..."
Confuseus' mind "not what it was"?
What WAS it like?
He's pretty fine right now!
