Removing the stone from an avocado

When a friend cut her thumb quite badly while trying to remove a stone from an avocado recently (who hasn't been there and done that!) another friend said to use a fork instead of a knife to get the stone out. I've been trying this and so far (4 avocados) I have to say not only is it safer but it's also easier to get the stone out. The hardest part is to remember to put the knife down after cutting the fruit in half and to pick up a fork to remove the stone.
