Manners maketh a man ...

During class, a teacher trying to teach good mannersasks the students, one by one, "Michael, if you were on a date having dinner with a nice young lady, howwould you tell her that you have to go to thebathroom?" she asked."Just a minute, I have to go piss." The teacher replied, "That would be rude and  impolite!What about you Sam, how would you say it?""I am sorry, but I really need to go to the bathroom, I'll be right back."The teacher responded, "That's better, but it's stillnot very nice to say the word bathroom at the table.And you Johnny, are you able to use your intelligencefor once and show your good manners?""I would say:  Darling, may I please be excused for a moment, I have to shake hands with a very dear friendof mine whom I hope you'll get to meet after  dinner."
