Does it work?
Euhre Daf Eejit, came from a very poor family near the Ancient City of New Delhi. His family worked at removing the glass eyes from suttee'd widows on the Banks of the Ganges before the vultures got them. Like many Hindi words, like khaki, bungalow and bint, suttee also came to mean something in English. So when you are tucking in to your sauteed onions and mushrooms on top of your rare T-Bone Steak, you will remember that a Hindu Widow was alo sauteed or immolated after the death of her hubby.
Anyway, Master Euhre Daf Eejit, grew up as a privileged child, waited on hand and foot and mouth and was the envy of all the other children because of all the marbles he had.
When he finally became a Man at the age of 17, as his Rite of Passage was the grasping of a stinging nettle, he uttered these immortal words:
"To encourage conversation, always have one fewer knife and fork at the dinner table than there are guests at your dinner party"
To be Continued. She who must be obeyed wants to go out.
Yes, of course. Why didn't I think of that?
Rong - Sho -EE on:
Where to sit: "Never sit under precariously balanced heavy object".
A Fitting entrance: A door should be slightly lesser in size the the architrave is is about to be attached to.
