Family codes and ritualsFreddy Woo writes, "as a child we used to have a 'whoever cuts doesn't choose the slice' rule with cake. It worked brilliantly, but it's left me completely anal about dividing up food - my wife just takes the piss as I ritually compare all the slice sizes."
What codes and rituals does your family have?

Table?Somewhere along the line someone in your family has gotten mixed up... the original joke starts "how do you get down from an elephant?" I don't know where your crazy family got "table" from but that cracks me up! I can see how that would get funnier and funnier.
