That is also why the knife is placed with the cutting edge inward, and why it is not “polite” to gesticulate with utensils – it could be seen as threatening.

dollar drinks. Out comes a frosty mug, rim lightly salted, decorated with a slice of lime and a little shrimp clinging to the edge. The mug is huge ... HUGE. Think the size of 7-11’s largest slurpee ... larger. McDonald’s old...
