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 supper 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 saying, "That would be rude and impolite."
>>
>> What about you Peter, how would you say it?"
>>
>> Peter 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 Johnny, 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 you'll
>> get to meet after supper." :crossx:
>>
>> The teacher fainted.
