Being a Good Guest

Wrong:  A widow in her early 80s was invited to dinner at a country club. Her hosts were a long married couple equal in age to the widow. After a lengthy meal, and very friendly conversation, the guest asked one of the waiters to come to her side of the table. The guest showed the waiter three different forks and complained that none of the three forks were DESERT FORKS!! The waiter really didn't know what she was talking about and only smiled. She became very indignant and demanded a DESERT FORK for her piece of pie. The hosts sat silent and were surprised and embarrassed at the constant badgering of the woman at the waiter. Finally the head waiter came to the table with a selection of five different forks and asked the guest to take whichever fork she preferred. All the onlookers were embarrassed at the commotion and some were visually upset.

Right:  An invited guest to a country club dinner finds that after a very pleasant dinner, coffee and cake were served. Although the guest still had two clean unused forks, neither fork was a true desert fork. The guest very politely picked up one of the two forks and enjoyed eating the delicious apple pie. No mention of a missing desert fork ever passed her lips.
