How many hors d'oeuvres you are allowed to take off a tray being carried by
a waiter at a nice party?
Two, but there are ways around it, depending on the style of the hors
d'oeuvre. If they're those little pastry things where you can't tell what's
inside, you take one, bite off about two-thirds of it, then say: "This is
cheese! I hate cheese!" Then you put the rest of it back on the tray and
bite another one and go, "Darn it! Another cheese!" and so on.
-- Dave Barry, "The Stuff of Etiquette"
