Polite Dinner

There are two very polite people having dinner together. On the table, there is a dish with one big piece of fish and one small piece of fish.

They politely say to each other: “You may choose first.”

“No, you may choose first.”

And this goes on for awhile. Then the first person says: “OK, I’ll take first.” And he takes the BIG piece of fish.

The second person: “Why did you take the big piece? That’s not polite!”

The first person says: “Which piece would YOU have taken?”

The second person replies: “Why, I would have taken the SMALL piece, of course.”

The first person says: “Well, that’s what you have now!”
