During a good manners and etiquette class, the teacher says
to her students “If you were courting a well educated young
girl from a prominent family and during a dinner for two you needed to
go to the toilet, what would you say to her? ”
Mike replies : Wait a minute, I need to take a leak.
The teacher says : That would be very rude and improper on
your part.
Charlie replied : I’m sorry I need to go to the toilet, I’ll
be back in a minute.
The teacher says : That’s much better but to mention the word
“toilet” during a meal, is unpleasant.
And Johnnie says: “My dear, please excuse me for a moment. I
have to go shake hands with a personal friend, whom, I hope,
to be able to introduce to you after dinner. ”
The teacher passed out.
