You remind me of a British comedian Henry Cooper. One of his gags he keeps asking for a drink and some cake, and although he's told several times that there's no cake, he keeps asking for something different with cake. In the end the waiter punches him, and he finally gives in and asks for a piece of cake on its own!
It was a long time ago, but I'm sure Henry Cooper was a boxer, and Tommy Cooper was the comedian
