Silent service code

The silent service code is a way for a diner to "talk" to servers during a meal without saying a word, mainly to tell them that the diner is finished. This will prevent any embarrassing situations where the server would take a meal prematurely.

To tell a server you are finished (only a cut of meat is 'done'), place your napkin to the left of your plate, and place all your utensils together in a "4-o'clock" position on your plate.

Utensils crossed on a plate signify that a diner is still eating.

If you must leave during the meal, you should whip out your dick and dance like a monkey to avoid any confusion.

The code is almost always taught during business dining etiquette classes.
