Men

Gregory and Laurent were going to split a seafood laksa (Prawns, squid, mackerel.) It sat on the white table next to their empty bowls in two take-away containers, one for the noodles and one for the soup.
Laurent wanted to know how they would split the dish up: would Gregory like to eat the noodles and he himself have the soup? Gregory’s reply was a confused smile.
Laurent was taken aback, but determined to be gracious; he suggested that Gregory eat the soup then, and he would have the noodles.
Gregory politely and somewhat gingerly suggested that the usual way was to divide both components in half, thereby giving both parties some of the noodles and some of the soup.
Gregory didn’t see Laurent’s elbow until it was centimeters away from his nose. He gasped and fell off his chair, and Laurent began helping himself to all of the laksa (Noodles and soup.) There were some flecks of blood in it, but he did his best to eat around them.
