This Week's Dvar Torah:
"Four Words That Changed History"
Imagine what it was like to be in jail with two officers of Pharoah's Court. As an analogy, this would be like having a two-bit drug dealer in jail together with two members of the President's cabinet. These were 'Cabinet level' people in the Egyptian government - the person who brought Pharoah his wine was a trusted individual. He was the wine taster, a person in whom the King had implicit trust. These were people who could be compared to the Attorney General and the Secretary of State.
They were sitting in jail with a Hebrew slave - the lowest rung of society, someone who was serving time for a petty crime. We can be sure that there was not a lot of camaraderie and social interaction between Yosef and Pharoah's officials.
The officers had their respective dreams, which upset them. Yosef saw that they were depressed and asked them "Why are you depressed?" The "drug dealer" (Yosef) comments to the "Secretary of State" (Wine Butler), "You don't look so good this morning!" Because of that remark, because of those four words, what happens?

Halacha Highlights:
Rules Regarding Inactivity After Mayim Achronim
"The law is not in accordance with any of these teachings." The law is, however, in accordance with that which was said by R' Chiya bar Ashi in the name of Rav that there are three situations that require immediacy, and these are they ... immediately following the washing of hands is the blessing. - 42a
Rashi understands this statement to be referring to mayim achronim (the washing of hands prior to the blessing following a meal with bread). Thus, the conclusion of a meal would not be dependent upon the actions previously stated in the Gemara, but upon mayim achronim. Once a person has washed with mayim achronim, the meal is considered completed, and he may no longer eat. Birkas HaMazon must immediately follow. Many authorities understand the statement of Rav to be similarly referring to mayim achronim.
What are some laws about activities after washing mayim achronim?
