It’s probably about time for this one again, then.

A man goes into a seafood restaurant and orders fresh squid. The waiter wheels over a trolley containing an aquarium, and the man examines the dishes-to-be.
“I’ll have that pale green little one there, please” says the customer.
“The one with the moustache? OK then” replies the waiter, and calls out “Gervais!!”
A little French chef appears with a large knife, the waiter instructs the chef to prepare the squid. Gervais is just about to slice at the poor squid when he notices a tear running down its face and over its moustache. Gervais is touched, and admits that he hasn’t the heart to kill the squid.
“I know,” thinks the waiter, and takes it to the enormous German dishwasher bloke. “Hans,” he asks, “could you do the honours?”
The dishwasher wields a huge rolling pin and is just about to bludgeon the little green squid when it cringes back and gives a little cry. “I am sorry sir, I just cannot kill the squid” Hans admits, his lower lip trembling.
“Well,” says the waiter, reappearing, “it just goes to show. Hans that do dishes can be soft as Gervais… With mild green, hairy lip squid.”
