...or 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 that
you have to go to the bathroom?' Michael said, "Just a minute I have to
go pee."
The teacher responded by saying, "That would be rude and 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?"
"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."
