>> they don't know. >> i didn't know until someone told me the trick about a month ago. >> when you are sitting here and like do you want to eat my bread on this plate or this plate? the best way to remember which side is your bread plate and which is your drink plate is make okay symbols with both fingers b and d. the b is the bread and the d is the drink. so you remember that is my bread plate. we have all been -- yes. that's it. >> do you know which side of the knife you are to put closest to your plate? >> blade in. >> blade in. because otherwise you might cut someone. so b and d. >> i have heard of people coming over. isn't that a great trick? because sometimes you forget. >> do you like it if somebody goes that looks delicious and

quickly and it is over. other people are still eating. i don't like when they take my plate because the other person feels compelled to rush and finish. just leave the plates. >> okay. here is the other thing you should not do if you want to live. the tour de france is asking fans to stop taking selfies. >> they are hanging out into the track area and trying to get a picture of themselves while the bikes are going by at really fast speed. >> she did what i do with the mouth open. that would be so bad. >> who thought that was a good idea? >> don't do it. >> they actually had video of some of the people, some of the riders like knocking the cameras down. watch. let's watch. okay. it's -- yeah. move out of the way. okay. wow. they have no barriers up. none.
