Good mannars
During class, a teacher, trying to teach good
manners,
asks one of her students;
"Michael, if you were on a date, having supper with
a nice young lady, how would you tell her that you
have to go to the bathroom?"
"Just a minute, I have to go pee."
"That would be rude and impolite! What about you
John, how would you say it?"
"I am sorry, but I really need to go to the bathroom,
I'll be right back."
"That's better, but it's still not very nice to say
the word "bathroom" at the table."
"And you Peter, are you able to use your intelligence
for once and show us your good manners?"
"I would say: 'Darling, may I please be excused for a
moment? I have to shake hands with a very dear friend of mine,
whom I hope you'll get to meet after dinner.'"
