ill-mannered people...geez they insult me then just walk away...whatever happened to manners? etiquette? well I 'm happy to say at least one group takes our social responsibilites seriously...an ill-mannered reader pointed this out and I see it's a news release on Mission and State..er..I mean Noozhawk..

| appropriate attire for young ladies?? |
it seems the Wine Cask and Girls and Boys Club have teamed up for lessons in etiquette....teaching youngsters how to properly sit at the table with others; what to wear and what to say and most importantly what not to say; how to eat and what utensils to use...
Etiquette Dinners is what they call it: At 3:30 p.m. Wednesday, Aug. 6, children from Mrs. Bock’s Social Manners program will pay a visit to Wine Cask to demonstrate their newly acquired proper manners, which they learned during the club’s summer program.
well hey it's better than sailing and fishing and rough-housing and playin' baseball!
for example, it is impolite to eat peas with a knife..it's fun but it's not polite....and what would you use a spoon for? well let's see...eating ice cream or soup...then there's the venerable fork...you use a fork to pick up a morsel and put it in your mouth...but don't forget there's a salad fork and a dinner fork! make the right choice or face embarrassment!
then there's the napkins...on your lap or tucked in your shirt but never ever on the table, please..
talk with your mouth open and eat with your mouth closed...simple rules that will keep you in good graces with the upper social circles...
now a lady named Mrs. Brock teaches these kids the proper etiquette and the Wine Cask dinner will be a sort of showcase for them..
I applaud the Wine Cask and Boys and Girls Club for taking the time to teach the kids important life lessons...
God knows we got enough boorish behavior out there....
