You’re carrying a PITCHFORK?

I am carrying a pitchfork with me! It has a very specific purpose. I will let you guess its purpose here. Sorry! No hints! And to the very few close friends who I have told, sorry, you are disqualified, but I’ll still buy you a dinner if you like!

The first person to correctly guess the specific purpose for the pitchfork will win a dinner gift card for two at your favorite restaurant!
