A photographer, who went to a formal dinner party, decided to bring some pictures he recently took to share with the guests.

On seeing them, the hostess exclaims, "Those are such stunning photos. You must have a really remarkable camera."  The photographer, a little perturbed, said nothing, as everyone was sitting down to enjoy a glorious meal.

After dinner, as the photographer readied to depart for the evening, he sought out the hostess to thank her for her hospitality and the dinner.   "That was a fabulous dinner," he says. "You must have some magnificent pots." - Unknown
