Former Indian President Dr. Radhakrishnan and the British Prime Minister Churchill met over dinner.
As per the Indian custom, the President washed his hands well before eating. While Churchill was busy with spoon and fork, Dr. Radhakrishnan was eating with his fingers.
Churchill asked the President to use the spoon and fork for better hygiene.
The great scholar quipped, "Unlike spoons, no one else could use my fingers. So, I consider it most hygienic."
Tight lipped as he was the statesman blushed.
