They are a set of ceremonial tongs used by Freemasons. Should you find yourself having dinner at a masonic lodge (or the home of a lodge’s primate) and encounter a an overcooked lump of something foul and unchewable in your stew, called a ‘grimsby’, know that it was placed there deliberately to test you. (If you are not at a Masonic lodge, it may simply be the result of careless cookery.) You must approach your host, hopping on one foot, and perform the secret Masonic handshake. He is obliged to hand over the tongs, and you must then use them to extract the grimsby. Alternately, you may attempt to swallow the grimsby without comment. But your host knows it was in there, and that you didn’t follow proper procedure, so don’t expect to be invited back!

These are the personal tweezers of the infamous Russian masochist Ivan Rippanippelov.

Well.
The story started with an old man on a mountain. Every Wednesday and Saturday he would walk down to the river to get some more water. On Wednesdays, he would meet a snake, who would continually bother him until he got back in his home. The old man’s home also got struck by lightning alot. He had long ago realized this issue, but had no idea what to do. One Saturday, he brought a metal object down to the river, and left it at a tree trunk. The next Wednesday, he picked it up, and went home with it. The snake saw, and asked what it was for, but the old man told him he had three shots to guess what it was, then he would show the snake.
“Tongs?”
“No.”
“Dowsing rod?”
“Nope.”
“Some sort of probe?”
“Not even close.”
“What is it then?!”
The old man then proceeded to bludgeon the snake to death.
The End
