Quotes
Thomas a Becket
Tonight you can do me the honor of christening my forks.
King Henry II
Forks?
Thomas a Becket
Yes, from Florence. New little invention. It's for pronging meat and carrying it to the mouth. It saves you dirtying your fingers.
King Henry II
But then you dirty the fork.
Thomas a Becket
Yes, but it's washable.
King Henry II
So are your fingers. I don't see the point.
