Albert Cup
Can someone help me understand this joke from the Simpsons?
I feel really stupid, but this joke has puzzled me for many years. On the Simpsons episode in which the family moves to Cypress Creek, Homer is too inept to notice that his new boss, Hank Scorpio (voiced by Albert Brooks) is a terrorist supervillian. At one point, Homer wanders into Hank's office with a cup of coffee asking if he has any sugar. Hank reaches into his pants pocket and pulls out a handful of sugar, and says, "Sorry it's not in packets."
Is this something esoteric, obscure, or perhaps a cocaine reference? Or is it possibly just random enough to be funny?
Hope I don't look like too much of a moron right now.
I think it has a reference (like so much other stuff from Simpsons) to other great and famous joke.
This one you've described is a famous one from this fat comic from England - Benny Hill, he was before Mr. Bean.
So, they sit with a friend in a cafe, a waitress comes, a pretty stout girl, with a low cut on her blouse, you can see the shape of big breasts, and a short skirt. She asks: "Tea?", they say: "Yes, please", she takes two bags of tea out of her bra, and poors the water into their mugs. (Surprised look on their faces).Then she asks: "Sugar?" They say: "Yes, please", and she reaches down into her bra and produces two small bags of sugar. (A more surprised, confused, embarassed look).
Then she goes: "Milk?" And they reply in chorus: "NO, THANK YOU". 
That was funny at that time.
I think it may have travelled into Simpsons, but altered.
(Not really sure if I have retold the joke in the right way, the idea anyway is correct.)
