"Ask Walt": Have Etiquette Questions? I have Answers!

Recommended Posts

I never really know how to handle this one. I'm sure you can help. Suppose you enter a public restroom and just as you sit down, the guy in the next stall says something like "Hey honey, I was just thinking about you."
Should you assume he's on a cell phone and keep quiet, assume he's just being friendly and give a friendly reply, assume he's being more than friendly and tell him you don't go in for that, or fart loudly to let him know he's crossed the line and you have more important things to do? Does proper ettiquite dictate some other response? Thanks in advance for your kind advice.

so i have this friend... let's call him Walt. He's a middle age bugger who can't seem to get it up and scares off all the women, when you head out to the western bars. He seems to also like those mechanical bulls a bit too much (if you know what i mean). How do I tell him that he's spoiling all my fun, and seems a bit gay? :|



That is *exactly* the kind of friend you want to hang out with. The thing is to keep a bit of distance from him. When you talk with a woman and she starts telling you what a disgusting pig you are and that she will never go out with you, merely point to your friend and say, "Well, it could be worse......"

The proper response is a very sarcastic, "Gee darling, I didn't know you cared so much!!!!!". If he is a straight guy talking to his SO on the cell phone, he will be properly embarrassed because he knows that he's been caught doing the unthinkable. If he's a gay guy talking with his SO on the cell phone, you'll get a great laugh when he responds with a very feminine voice by saying something like, "Oh hush, Mr. Rude Person!!!!".

Of course if he is gay and is really interested in you, run like hell. Being in the same room as a gay guy who is interested in you can be distrastrous because gayness is contagious!!!!

If you are using a public restroom and the person in the next stall asks for some toilet paper because he/she is out, do you (1) HAVE to oblige and (2) how many sqyare do you hand that person.

Since they didn't check for toilet paper first, it is their own fault and you should charge them at least $1.00 per square.




How about if you pretend you didn't hear them. Don't offer them any paper. Leave and laugh your ass off because they had to "drip dry?" :D

That will work too, but be sure you wait just outside the restroom door so you can point at them and laugh when they walk out!

You should politely but firmly explain that if you don't pay for the meal that takes away any grounds you have for insisting on monkey-like sex later in the evening. She'll understand and let you pay in that case.

Dear Walt~

What would be a good wine to serve with White Rhino steaks??

I was leaning towards a hearty red, but we will be serving California Condor eggs as part of the appetizer and I am uncertain if a Red would be proper.

I get that question quite often. Although White Rhino steaks are technically red meat and most people assume that requires a red wine, the fact is that it tastes much like chicken, so particularly since California Condor eggs will be served also, a well-chilled Zinfandel is the way to go.

If I may make a suggestion, Sauteed Snail Darter makes a great appetizer as do boiled Kemp's Ridley Sea Turtle eggs, stuffed with Gulf Sturgeon decorated with Bald Eagle feathers!

Dear Walt,

When up at or near altitude and you relieve the pressure building in your colon only to realize that you have now soiled your jumpsuit, how do you politely try to convince the others on the load to go naked?

:S



Being a skydiving chick you can do it quite easily by loudly announcing, "Hey guys, if you jump naked, so will I!!!!".

All guys on the plane will be naked within seconds. The other ladies on the plane, not wanting to feel prudish, will soon follow.

The sea turtle eggs are a nice touch, we may add those as well...however we've decided to decorate with Northern Spotted Owl feathers...(I know, it IS close to labor day...but we did the Bald Eagle thing last Easter and I don't want to appear stuck on a theme)

As far as the Sauteed Snail Darter...WHAT THE FUCK...Do I look FRENCH to you?!?!:o:S:P

Good point--good ol' deep fried Whooping Crane wings are always a hit as an appetizer, as are deep fried California Chiricahua Froglegs!

Thanks so much, you been a great help...one more quick question.:)

A 'business acquaintance' and I were strolling through the woods late the other night, when he accidentally fell on my knife 37 times. :o

Knowing he really wouldn't want to burden anyone with a depressing funeral, and since I just happened to have a bag of lye and a shovel with me...I opted to cut out the middleman.;)

Should I have removed all the clothing prior to the lye application?

Great question. Accidents do happen--particularly at night--and you need to be prepared beforehand with knowledge of the proper etiquette. In today's environmentally-conscious society, recycling is a must! The appropriate thing to do is remove the clothes before applying the lye (BTW, I much prefer hydrochloric acid instead of lye, but either is fine). Recycle the clothes by making a surprise gift to someone who has had a high level of animosity toward your associate--it will help smooth things over. Since old grudges can be quite sensitive, rather than giving them directly, discreetly place them in the trunk of the sucker's, I mean the *person's* car.

>is it ok to pick your butt if you are nekked?
>Only if you are drunk!

I think you're being too fastidious here. You only need to be drunk if you want to lick your finger after.

There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence. (tbrown)

Excellent idea, I will have to remember that should a similar situation ever come up.

Since this IS a forum addressing etiquette, what is the proper length of time one should wait before beginning to date the recent widow of a long time business acquaintance?

I am caring, sensitive gentlemen and realize that I should wait at LEAST until she is actually officially notified that she IS a widow...but how long AFTER that??

Please understand that she has really GREAT tits!;)

It would be very ungentlemanly to leave those great tits, I mean that poor widow, to bear the burden of grieving alone, so don't wait another minute!

Hi Walt!

Since this is a skydiving website my question pertains more toward that end.

I have recently begun to learn how to swoop, and although I'm encountering some of the typical problems I feel it is a worthwhile endeavor.

My two part question is:

Is it offencive to pick my scabs in mixed company?


And


What makes them TASTE so damn good, the creamy puss filling?


Thank you in advance!:$

By "mixed" you mean skydivers and non-skydivers? Absolutely. To not do so might make you appear "elitist".

I'm glad you asked that. So few people appreciate the creamy filling. Check out this tasty treat!
