At a dinner party, one of the guests, an obnoxiously loud young man, tried to make clever remarks about everyone and everything.
When he was served a piece of meat, he picked it up with his fork, held it up and smirked: ‘Is this pig?’
Another guest, sitting opposite, asked quietly: ‘Which end of the fork are you referring to?’
