Maggie Thacher -- beef and vegetables

At breakfast this morning we were discussing the life of Maggie Thacher. A man from England told the following story about her ... a joke.

She was at a state dinner. The waiter ask her, "Would you prefer beef or pork?"

In her squeaky voice she replied, "Beef."

"What about the vegetables," the waiter ask.

"Oh, they will have beef also," Maggie replied.

 

Apocryphal: it actually comes from Spitting Image

 

Yes it was, that is why I put "a joke" in the OP. Perhaps I should have made it clearer. I apologize if there is/was confusion.
