Two persons were chatting over a buffet dinner at a hotel.
There was a bowl of yellowish liquid with a slice of lemon in it. If you are unaware, this bowl of liquid is for guests to wash their fingers after peeling seafood like prawns to get rid of the smell. It turns out one of the guy has attended a course on social etiquette. He posed a question to the other guy. "What would you do if you bring your business associates out for business lunch and he or she drank the bowl of water meant for washing fingers?" Don't laugh. This may very well happens. Especially if your guests have no idea about the dining culture in your country. If you've watched Julia Roberts in the movie Pretty Woman, you'll remember her accompanying Edward Lewis (played by Richard Gere) to a business dinner where she flung an escargot out of her hands. The other guy immediately said "Take yours and drink like he or she did." What will you do? Sometimes your reaction or response without P.S. The answer given in the course was to asked the waiter to quietly whisper to the guests that the water is not meant for drinking, without letting the others hear it.
