Hi
A man and a woman were eating dinner. The man stood up went to the sideboard and said:
This is one of Mrs Thatcher’s daintier dishes, cold
lobster soufflé, light as a feather.Do try a little. How very
disappointing! I ordered it especially – with, Imay tell you
– several other things on my mind.’ He helped himself
and, sitting down again, gave proof that it is possible to
eat and talk at the same time with ease and grace.
What was disappointing? She didn't want to eat this or he figured out that there's something lacking?
If he says: I ordered it with several other things on my mind he means that when he was ordering it he was also thinking of something else?
