Gary, if you're serious about knocking over a Waffle House, tattoo parlor, or check-cashing joint, you might want to upgrade to the five-pronged model-- just for the intimidation value. You can probably pick up a used one from one of your Amish neighbors and thereby avoid the governmental red tape and mandatory background check.
I prefer the 4 pronged myself when I rob waffle houses!

Man Robs Southern Diner -- With a Pitchfork At first glance, there was nothing particularly noteworthy about the robbery Thursday of a restaurant in suburban Atlanta. An armed man made off with the cash register, scuffled with employees and sped off down the road. Police are still looking for him. Did we mention he was armed? Because he was armed. With a pitchfork. Did we mention this was Georgia? It all started around 5 p.m. ET Thursday at a Waffle House in Norcross, a northeastern suburb of Atlanta, when a portly man wearing overalls and a blue ski mask walked in. (For the uninitiated, Waffle Houses are 24-hour diners that are ubiquitous across the Southeast. Finding separate Waffle Houses at all four ramps onto or off the same interstate exit isn't unusual — that's the sign you're not in Kansas anymore.) "The suspect was armed with a pitchfork," Norcross Police Chief Warren Summers said matter-of-factly Friday. Security camera video confirms that, indeed, the robber was armed with a pitchfork — a wood-handled pitchfork with three metal prongs. The man "herded the employees into the stockroom with the pitchfork" and tried to open the cash register, Summers said, but he wasn't able to crack it open, "so he picked up the cash register and left with it." A police statement briskly relates what happened next, beginning with the two employees who ran out of the stockroom to follow the man. Once outside, the man tripped and dropped the pitchfork. One of the employees picked it up and chased him first into a drugstore and then back outside to where he'd parked a white getaway van. Thereupon ensued a fight, during which "the suspect was struck with the pitchfork by one of the employees," according to the statement. He made it into the van, and as he was driving away, "the rear window was broken out by one of the employees." But Pitchfork Bubba wasn't out of the woods yet. As he sped away, a police officer saw the van make a U-turn on Jimmy Carter Boulevard. That kicked off a pursuit, during which the robber drove off the roadway and got away. The van was found abandoned on a nearby street, with its back window blown out and glass shards littering the driver's seat. Summers said Friday that Jeffery Willard Wooten, 50, was being sought on an armed robbery warrant. He's described as a white male, 5 feet, 9 inches tall, with a brown buzz cut and mustache, a scraggly beard and hazel eyes. Summers said Wooten would likely be easy to spot: He'll have unusual injuries to his face and the back of his head. http://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/...tchfork-n96151

My uncle owned the Dr Pepper bottling plant in Corpus Christi. DP made the original Squirt. That is not a euphemism.
