A little-known fact about William Tell is that apart from being an expert with the crossbow, he was also an accomplished chef. One day he had prepared a new dish for his Swiss friends but, ever the perfectionist, he felt there was something missing from the sauce. "Do you think the sauce needs more berries?" he suggested. "No, no," they said. "I think you have just the right amount of berries." "More salt, then?" "No, the amount of salt is perfect," they insisted. "Herbs, that's it," he said triumphantly. "I should have put in more herbs. What do you think?" "Hmmm," they pondered, tasting the sauce. "Perhaps only thyme, Will Tell." Two Englishmen were comparing notes on their summer vacations. "I stayed at a hotel in Lyme Regis," said one. "In Dorset?" "Certainly. I'd recommend it to anyone."
