A Sci Fi version of this question occurs on the Dr Who webcast Shada.
There is also an earlier conversation in "The Talons of Weng-Chiang". It comes very near the end of the adventure, and the tradition of taking tea is being explained to Leela.
"And then, for example, I would say, 'One lump or two, Miss Leela?' To which you reply 'One will suffice, thank you.' Now do you follow?"
"Supposing I want two?"
"Oh no no no; one lump for ladies."
"Then why do you ask me?"
