[Leica] OT (kind of) Table manners

[dlr at dlridings.se (Daniel Ridings)]

I noticed in my PAW this week that there is something that took a while 
to learn when I came to Sweden.

Here's the link again and look at the position of the knife and fork on 
Gunn's (that's her name) plate:

If you finish eating and put your silverware any other way than she had 
done, you will get the host and hostess offering you more and more food, 
second helpings, on and on ...

By placing your silverware the way she has, it means: I'm finished. You 
will be offered desert or coffee, but you won't be terrorized with 
second and third helpings :-)

Took a while to pick up that trick ...
