skysprite 0 #1 December 20, 2007 Knowing you all it's probably been posted before, but a very quick search on my part can't find it so here ya go! During one of her daily classes, a teacher trying to teach good manners, asked her students the following question: Michael, if you were on a date having dinner with a nice young lady, how would you tell her that you have to go to the bathroom ? Michael said, Just a minute I have to go pee …………………. The teacher responded by saying, That would be rude and impolite. What about you Sherman, how would you say it ? Sherman said, 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 dinner table. And you little Edward, can you use your brain 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 to introduce you to after dinner.” The teacher fainted …………………….~skysprite Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

popsjumper 2 #3 December 20, 2007 I eventually married a girl from the other side of the tracks (big mistake but that's another story). First dinner party at his house to meet the Father so he could "check out" her new beau... I was thirsty so I picked up this crystal "cup" and drank the water. A sharp jab to the ribs from her went unnoticed by "Dad". "Whaaaa?", says I. Later, she told me about fingerbowls...now how in the hell would I have known about something so high-falutin' as that?My reality and yours are quite different. I think we're all Bozos on this bus.

Bolas 5 #5 December 20, 2007 I like that line. I may start using that. Wanna go out to dinner? Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
