One is hosting a society dinner party. During the conversation one of my esteemed guests, the Duke of Effingham, inadvertantly revealed he had been fraternising with the housekeeper, and the Duchess, in a fit of pique, grabbed a piece of the silverwear and stabbed him in the thigh. Offending etiquette, she used the butter knife, when she should have used the fish knife (the Duke is a Pisces); Should I pardon this extraordinary faux pas?

Of course you should my dear, but she must have been left handed as the knife should have been on the left and her husband opposite her....are you sure it was her husband who was stabbed and not the Earl of Sandwich.

One should call the Police - the Duchess is clearly guilty of assault causing bodily harm - thus rendering herself liable for a short stay in one of her majesty's establishments, leaving the way clear for the Duke and the Housekeeper to repeat their indiscretion at their leisure.

You have too much spare time - get to work.
