[quote=Anonymous]I once went to a dinner party at what was once Volta’s house in Italy. The atmosphere was pretty stuffy and formal (relevant later).

Some of the guests were surgeons from a nearby hospital, and it is customary to give a gift to your doctor(s) after a procedure or treatment. The owner of the house was a surgeon who had recently been given rabbits that had been hunted by a low income patient, and those rabbits were our dinner.

While eating I discovered that the rabbit contained a fair amount of shotgun pellets. I discretely returned any I found to my fork and then to my plate. Unfortunately one dropped from my fork to my plate with a loud plink during a total lull in conversation. Since the atmosphere was so formal and there had been no other plinks I felt like I had committed a faux pas and I’m sure my face showed it. Fortunately, it actually lightened the mood; a few people started laughing, and the remainder of the dinner was full of the sound of plinking pellets.[/quote]
