SO, Andrew, keep those jokes coming even if they are bad ones. PUNish us, please!

One of my previous companies had a big dinner after winning a
contract. Since the contract was in Scotland, they had the dinner in
a Scottish castle, flying folks in from all over the world.
In deference to some of the Vegan diners, the host asked the caterer
to leave that option open for those who wished it.
The big event finally came and the grand centerpiece of the meal was a
wonderful standing rib roast with tartan skirts on the ends. It was
carved with due ceremony and served to the group. Thats when the
hubbub started.
When the first Vegan was served the meal, she asked that it be taken
away, as she had plainly asked for a non-meat entre'. The waiter
tactfully explained that that is exactly what she'd been served. The
bone was not bone, but made from compressed carrot, similiar to some
dog bones and the "meat" was wonderfully textured soy protein. It
looked and tasted exactly like the rib roast.
"Well, if this is so close to the real thing, how do you tell the
difference?" asked the Vegan.
"Well, ma'am" explained the waiter, "The real roast has the skirt on
the end of the bone and the "fake" one does not. I can assure you
that no animals wore kilts in the making of your meal."
