But how's your grasp of modern manners? Test yourself.

I walked around with a book on my head for years so I would expect to get the rest right

:wah:

I've been married twice...................both times by a justice of the peace.

To me, etiquette is not as important as common courtesy.

9 of 10. I'm sorry but I'm talking to both ladies. :p

I remember in England, my beloved and I went to a pub to eat. Their hunting dog plopped down at our feet, under the table, then released the most foul fart ever! :yh_sick Per ettiquette, I smiled at my fellow guest and we both prayed for a breeze.
