Learning Manners

The teacher addressed the students during a good manners and etiquette class, “If you were courting a well educated young girl from a prominent family, and during the dinner you needed to go to the toilet, what would you say to her?”

Mike replied, “I’ll be back a minute, I’m going to go pee.”

The teacher said, “That would be very rude and improper on your part.”

Charlie replied, “I’m sorry, but I need to go to the toilet. I’ll be back in a minute.”

The teacher said, “That’s better but to mention the word ‘toilet’ during a meal, is unpleasant.”

Just then little Johnny piped up, “My dear, please excuse me for a moment. I have to go shake hands with a dear personal friend with whom I hope to introduce to you after dinner.”
