"Hock, sir?" asks the sommelier.
"Yes, hock, man. You know, hic, haec, hoc, hunc, hanc, hoc etc."
"Hmm ... very good, sir."
The food arrives, but without the wine, which perturbs the gentleman slightly as he's accustomed to a high quality of service. He begins to dine and at the next opportunity he beckons the sommelier again.
"Didn't I order a bottle of hock?"
"Yes sir, but then you declined it."

I once made a Meeting Template for our old Groupwise electronic calendar that had a picture of people sitting around a table with a flip chart and the Latin slogan Convenimus ergo summus! (We meet, therefore we are!).Wonderful! He jokes, therefore he is.
