[BITList] The Polite Way to Pee

[John Feltham]

>>> The Polite Way to Pee
>>> 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 you have to go to the bathroom?"
>>>  
>>> Michael said: 'Excuse me, I need to pee.'
>>>  
>>> The  teacher responded: 'That would be quite 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 Johnny, can you use your brain for once and show us your good manners?'
>>>  
>>> Johnny said: '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.
