Cutlery

Amanda is arguing with her aunt over where the knives are placed on the table.
...
Aunt: The knives go on the outside. The outside is where you start. You work inwards.

Amanda: That's a top-down approach. We don't always follow a top down approach nowadays. In a democratic workplace we're just as likely to begin at the workface. So I don't see anything wrong with putting the knives on the inside. Besides, working your way out, you make more space for the plates that are coming.

Aunt: Doesn't sound right to me. We always were taught to put knives on the outside and work your way in.

Amanda: Auntie, haven't read Paul Hogan's Taxonomy for Identifying Cutlery?

Aunt: Paul Hogan? Who's Paul Hogan?

Amanda: He's a crocodile hunter. He has a pragmatic approach to cutlery.
