Breaking CNN news from Katmandu:

Nine members of the royal family were shot dead Friday by an accidental burst of automatic weapons fire. Palace officials had no explanation for why there was an automatic rifle present at a dinner party.

Well my mama says back in the old country you may encounter the dessert spoon, automatic rifle, and dessert fork as part of the initial place setting. They would be placed horizontally over the plate and parallel to each other, with the bowl of the spoon pointing to the left the stock of the automatic weapon to the right and the tines of the fork pointing right.
