    If anyone needed a summary of British politeness and not wanting to cause a fuss, this is it.

      I once ate a steak that was cold because of this. The memory will haunt me forever.

          Ah yes. Chewy boot leather. No it wasn’t. It was medium. I still wonder if they pulled the meat out of the fridge and didn’t give it a chance to warm through when searing it, but it didn’t seem all that rare in the middle. Just… cold.

      Also a decent summary of the stereotypical Jewish mother and her love of suffering. Also illustrated by the following joke:

      Q: How many Jewish mothers does it take to change a lightbulb?

      A: It’s all right, I’ll just sit in the dark.
