Louvre It or Leave It (The Death of Socrates)
From A KoL Wiki
You step off the stairs and through a doorway, which leads into a dark stone-walled room. A bearded man in a white toga is speaking to a small group of people, gesturing animatedly. "So I said, that was no lady, that was my wife!" The listeners groan, some of them putting their heads in their hands in pain. "Oh, come on! That one's a classic! Okay okay, so there's this travelling salesman, who sees this three-legged pig..."
You sneak past them and toward another door, which seems to lead to another set of stairs. As you leave, you hear the man saying "Bleah! This is the worst cup of coffee I've ever tasted! What's in this, anyway?"
