I like the coughing idea. Straight in his face without covering your mouth. And then apologise. Every time. Perhaps munch on some raw garlic first.Originally posted by vetran View PostJust say Mmm Chianti & Fava beans hsss.

Here's a conversational gambit to draw him into (for Spartacus fans):Originally posted by Old Greg View PostNot alternatively, but in combination.
Marcus Licinius Crassus [played by Laurence Olivier]: Do you eat oysters?
Antoninus [played by Tony Curtis]: When I have them, master.
Marcus Licinius Crassus: Do you eat snails?
Antoninus: No, master.
Marcus Licinius Crassus: Do you consider the eating of oysters to be moral and the eating of snails to be immoral?
Antoninus: No, master.
Marcus Licinius Crassus: Of course not. It is all a matter of taste, isn't it?
Antoninus: Yes, master.
Marcus Licinius Crassus: And taste is not the same as appetite, and therefore not a question of morals.
Antoninus: It could be argued so, master.
Marcus Licinius Crassus: My robe, Antoninus. My taste includes both snails and oysters.Comment
