how do I get a fork out of the garbage disposal?

[LDS Jock]

I can't get it out. I can feel it but not grab it with my big hands. I have no tools to grab it with. Any suggestions?

1. have any salad tongs?

[LDS Jock]

3. i tried it

but its a little stuck and the tongs wont grab it firmly enough

[kick-ass-bob]

5. stick a knife down there and

try to knock the fork loose - then maybe you can grab it with the tongs...

2. turn it on

then reach in to grab it. if that doesn't work... move. ;)

16. I grew up with snow, so no problem

I haven't always lived in Texas. I miss the snow. :(

6. two choices

a) Ask your neighborhood freeper to come over and do it by hand. Offer to vote for bush if he does.
b) Keep it running until the fork is totally ground down. It might be noisy, but oh well.

8. Broomstick

Wiggle the broomstick back and forth against the blades to get the machine to unjam.

11. TA DA!!!!! The broomstick worked.. thanks

It loosed it up enough for me to pry the fork out. Now I can throw all kinds of crap down there again. Well, other than forks.

9. Do you have any hex wrenches?

Under the disposal there should be a place right in the middle to insert one. Find the one that fits, then you turn and it will turn the blades releasing the fork.

10. Tie a looped string to your genitals and lower them into the disposal.
