Stir it up

WE hear of a Glasgow office where the boss was organising a large conference, and sent a member of staff to buy a bundle of the little plastic sticks for folk to stir the cups of coffee they would be offered.

Arriving in a supermarket the chap asked a member of staff: "I'm looking for these things for stirring coffee, but I don't know what they're called."

The staff member looked at him curiously, then slowly said: "Teaspoons."
