  1. A woman one time had a maid and one day they had peas and a duck for dinner. They had visitors coming and she told the maid to be polite with them. When the visitors came she had the dinners ready. The maid went to the mistress and said "Please mam no mam, mam if you please" where in the duck will I stuff the green peas?"
