Every Christmas, composer Giacomo Puccini would have a cake baked for each
of his friends. One year, having quarreled with Arturo Toscanini just before
Christmas, he tried to cancel the order for the conductor's cake. But it was
too late the cake had already been dispatched.
The following day, Toscanini received a telegram from Puccini: "Cake sent by
mistake."
He replied by return: "Cake eaten by mistake."
