While attending a private dinner party one evening, Alfred Hitchcock, whose famously portly profile betrayed a certain fondness for food, was dismayed to find that the portions being served were far from adequate.
At the end of the evening, the host bid Hitchcock farewell. "I do hope you will dine with us again soon," she added. "By all means," Hitchcock drily replied. "Let's start now."

[Hitchcock, a legendary practical joker, often held "blue dye" dinner parties at which guests were served blue martinis, blue steak and blue potatoes.]
