This, young lady is a matter of personal discretion... in my book, the harder the item that falls is, the better, more confident i felt about the 5 second rule... but things like pickles tomatoes, ice cream..etc ... ...not so much

[EssentialSacrifice]

ok, yep this is ok....

[EssentialSacrifice]

no no on don't you do it... rules are rules ...

[EssentialSacrifice]

Oh for goodness sakes...ok, ok I guess there are exceptions... (pretend that's a giant ice cream cone, not a dropped carrot nose...)

Yes. Rules are rules. And you should do what's right, even if nobody is watching!

Suppose you bring in the Christmas turkey, and just before getting to the table, it slides off onto the floor in full horrified view of all guests?

Declare dinner over, or, scoop it up and say, "Oh, its ok, I will just go back and get the other one."

Second Q, even harder:

WHAT do you say if, while carving the roast mallard at a fine dinner, it slips off the plate and onto the lap of the lady guest of honour's chemise dress?

There is only one correct line. Few men would think of it in time, being possessed, as is their wont, of only staircase wit*, or as our French friends would phrase it, "spirit of the escalator".**

* if that

Eat a mallard? You're quackers.

If I dropped the turkey on the floor in front of everyone, the only proper thing to do is urinate on it in front of everyone. Urine kills all bacteria. Then it's safe to eat.

BETTER NOT say what you'd do in the duck scenario.
