Very bad Latin joke

A gentleman, having ordered a meal at a fine London restaurant, decided that he would like some wine to accompany his meal. So he summoned the wine steward and asked for a bottle of hock.


"Hock, sir?" asked the steward.


"Yes, hock, man. You know: hic, hunc, huius, huic, hoc."


"Hmm ... very good, sir."


The food duly arrived, but without the wine. This perturbed the gentleman slightly, as he was accustomed to a higher standard of service. He began to dine, and at the next opportunity he beckoned the steward again.


"Didn't I order a bottle of hock?"


"Yes, sir, you did - but then you declined it."
