Footballer David Beckham was often unfairly mocked for his lack of verbal dexterity, it being mistaken for vapidity of lack of brain

One day, he was supposed to have turned up at Manchester United's training ground with thermos flask. "What's that Dave?" asked his team mates. "Posh got it for me. It's supposed to keep hot stuff hot and cold stuff cold" he replied. "That's clever" said his team mates. "What have you got in it?"

"A cup of tea, and an ice lolly."
